Structural Heart Program

Experience advanced heart care with less discomfort and a faster recovery.

The Structural Heart Program at Stony Brook Heart Institute uses cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedures to repair heart disorders. Our primary goal is to provide effective, long-lasting treatment with the least amount of invasiveness possible, so you can return to your daily activities smoothly.

Conditions Treated

Structural heart diseases affect your heart muscle and the valves that control blood flow. Some conditions are present at birth, while others develop over time. Our highly skilled cardiologists use advanced catheter-based techniques to treat these complex issues, which often means only light sedation, less bleeding and a quicker recovery than traditional surgery.

We specialize in minimally invasive interventions for:

• Atrial Septal Defects (ASD)
• Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO)
• Paravalvular leaks
• Valve defects
• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Structural Heart Program Services

Our services focus on catheter-based procedures, where thin, flexible tubes are inserted through a small incision in the groin or arm. Tiny, specialized devices are then guided through the catheter to the area in your heart requiring treatment.

This approach is central to our expertise in repairing ASDs, PFOs, valvular heart problems and performing alcohol ablation for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
