Why Choose Us For Your Advanced Heart Care

Because it’s our mission to provide patients world-class care. It is also our strength.

We are one of the leading centers for advanced robotic valve surgery and advanced robotic bypass surgery in the country. We are putting patient care first with outstanding experiences and outcomes. We take great pride in being able to provide high-quality, innovative, and life-changing care that improves the health and
well-being of our patients.

Groundbreaking Procedures

Our surgeons perform the first fully robotic aortic valve replacement in the northeastern United States.

Surgeons at the WVU Heart and Vascular Institute have performed a fully robotic aortic valve replacement operation done through a small opening in a patient’s side. According to national robotic surgery industry leaders, this was the ninth time this procedure has ever been performed and the first time in the northeastern region of the United States.

Robotic aortic valve replacement allows patients to avoid the standard or even less invasive open-heart procedure and its lengthy recovery. It has the potential to emerge as an alternative to an open aortic valve replacement for patients who are not appropriate candidates for other open or transcatheter approaches due to health or complex anatomy. The robotic approach, like the open procedure, allows the surgeon to visualize the anatomy, remove the diseased valve, and more precisely place the replacement valve.

“Support from our national organizations allows for the exchange of knowledge with colleagues from institutions around the world. It is an honor and privilege to be able to help them learn advanced techniques and take these back to their home institutions. This is rewarding for our teams as well because we are able to also exchange knowledge and techniques in order to continue to provide the most advanced care to the people of West Virginia and surrounding states.”
