Structural Heart Disease Treatment

We offer cutting edge minimally invasive treatment options for forms of heart disease and conditions in the non-coronary structures of the heart. When people have atrial fibrillation, blood can pool in an area of the heart called the left atrial appendage (LAA). A PFO is also known as a patent foramen ovale which is a hole in the heart that usually closes at birth. During fetal development, this is a small opening that is normally present in the wall between the right and left upper chambers of the heart, known as the atria. When this foramen ovale doesn?t close, it is called a patent foramen ovale, which occurs in approximately 25 percent of the population.
