Interventional Cardiology

Vanderbilt is consistently ranked among the nation’s best by leading authorities on health care quality. People from throughout the Southeast and across the country rely on us for the best and most innovative care possible. 

We perform more procedures every year in our cardiac catheterization lab than any other hospital in the region. Our vast experience means expert care for you. We welcome patients with even the most advanced or complex heart conditions, who may have been turned away by other hospitals.

Our doctors have specialized training in interventional cardiology. As leading experts, our doctors also serve in the organizations responsible for establishing national guidelines for patient care.

We offer advanced therapies that are not widely available. For example, we were the first in Nashville to consistently perform interventional cardiology procedures through a wrist artery instead of a leg artery. We also were first in Tennessee to use minimally invasive catheter techniques to replace aortic valves and to treat mitral valve insufficiency.

We work together to ensure that you receive the comprehensive care you need. Our team members collaborate with each other, as well as with experts in other medical disciplines, to provide you with individual care that addresses your unique needs.

Because we are part of an academic medical center, we offer access to some of the most promising new treatments and therapies being tested in clinical trials. Participating in a clinical trial is always optional. Find a clinical trial.
