Trinity Health Of New England offers a range of minimally invasive treatments for heart valve conditions and structural issues of the heart. Our team of experts work together to determine the best treatment for each patient. Cardiologists, structural heart specialists, cardiothoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists, advanced practice providers, registered nurses, and other specialists join forces to provide competent and compassionate care for structural heart patients.
The term structural heart disease refers to a change in the heart’s anatomy or “structure.” These problems may be present at birth (congenital), occur with aging or there may be an underlying disease that causes wear and tear on the structures of the heart.
Our team specializes in minimally invasive treatments for patients with the following conditions:
Aortic valve stenosis
Atrial septal defect (ASD)
Mitral valve regurgitation or mitral valve stenosis
Patent forame ovale (PFO)
Minimally invasive procedures performed include:
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
MitraClip™
Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR)
ASD/PFO closure
Left atrial appendage closure for patients with atrial fibrillation (Watchman™)
We get to know our patients for the people they are, not just the conditions they have, addressing risk factors and lifestyles, which helps to diagnose heart problems earlier and start treatment faster.
