Center for Heart Valve Disease
Unparalleled in Expertise and Technology

The Center for Heart Valve Disease offers new alternatives to valve replacement for many patients. For patients whose best option is replacement, Porter has been able to use tissue valves rather than mechanical replacements 90% of the time. Cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, and technologists work together to find the best solution for each patient.
