Structural Heart Disease Treatment in Ventura County

Minimally Invasive Treatments

Structural heart disease refers to defects in the heart's valves, wall, or chambers. Some of these defects are present at birth while others develop over time. Open-heart surgery used to be the only option to treat these defects or replace damaged heart valves. Now, we can offer minimally invasive options that can be equally or even more effective.

While open heart surgery can’t always be avoided, whenever possible, our experts use minimally invasive, catheter-based interventions to treat the following conditions:

• Aortic stenosis
• Valvular heart disease
• AFib-related stroke risk
• Mitral regurgitation
• Patent foramen ovale and atrial septal defect
