Our Cardiac Experts Advance Minimally-Invasive Heart Valve Care
Saint Alphonsus Valve and Cardiothoracic Programs are the area leader in many key metrics from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons and the Transcatheter Valve Therapy Registry. As one of the largest valve implanting centers in the northwest, our team provides several unique procedures and surgeries only offered at our center.
For example, our cardiac experts have extensive experience performing minimally-invasive and non-invasive procedures including transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). TAVR, a non-invasive therapy, enables us to replace diseased aortic valves without an incision to the patient's chest or ribs.
Dr. Robert Saeid Farivar, cardiothoracic surgeon and Medical Director of the Saint Alphonsus Cardiothoracic Heart Program, was named the Site Principal Investigator of the SUMMIT clinical trial, which uses the transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) technique to implant the Tendyne Mitral Valve System – the first and only of its kind in the region. A TMVR procedure replaces the patient's mitral valve without an incision to the chest or ribs.
