St. Elizabeth Healthcare is recognized as a regional and national leader in innovative heart care with excellent outcomes in the Greater Cincinnati area. Certified by The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association as a Comprehensive Cardiac Center, St. Elizabeth Healthcare provides high quality, personalized care and easy access to leading medical and surgical specialists.
Specific to heart valve disease, St. Elizabeth Healthcare launched the Florence Wormald Heart & Vascular Institute to provide coordinated, advanced therapies that include open-heart surgery, minimally invasive mitral valve repair and transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
“We’re excited to join forces with the HeartValveSurgery.com team,” stated Dr. Mario Castillo-Sang, the Surgical Director of Mitral Valve and Heart Failure Therapies at St. Elizabeth Healthcare. “Together, we will educate and empower patients with the goal of providing excellent outcomes for patients struggling with heart valve disease.”
A Team Approach for Heart Valve Treatment
The Structural Heart and Valve Center at St. Elizabeth Healthcare brings together the expertise of cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons to plan the best treatment for your condition. Surgeons and cardiologists review the results of your diagnostic exams to determine which therapies offer you the best results. Weekly case conferences and multi-disciplinary clinics provide patients with comprehensive diagnosis and treatment.
“This is an exciting time for the treatment of heart valve disease,” states Dr. Castillo-Sang. “Using a team-approach, our experts work together to determine the safest procedure that often utilize minimally invasive techniques.”
To ensure the patient is guided through the therapeutic process, St. Elizabeth Healthcare has experienced advance practice providers and a robust “Nurse Navigator” program.
Nurse Navigators helps coordinate patient care from diagnosis through recovery which includes everything from scheduling appointments to educating patients about their condition and their treatment options. Advanced practice providers including nurse practitioners and physician assistants work closely with the cardiologists and surgeons to support patients in all care settings.
