ECU Health launches AltaValve mitral valve replacement surgery
Original: ECU Health introduces AltaValve™ transcatheter mitral valve replacement surgery
ECU Health has introduced AltaValve transcatheter mitral valve replacement surgery, offering patients with mitral valve disease a less invasive alternative to open-heart surgery. The procedure replaces the mitral valve via a catheter, potentially benefiting patients too high-risk for conventional operations. Details on the first treated patients and outcomes have not yet been released.
Why now: The introduction of a new, less invasive heart valve treatment option is notable medical news for patients and clinicians.
