Catheter-based approaches to treat congenital and structural heart diseases are providing patients with a minimally invasive option for care when they are not eligible for traditional surgery. Hussam Suradi, MD, an interventional cardiologist at RUSH who specializes in treating patients with complex coronary and peripheral artery disease, will talk about several of these interventional approaches, including TAVR, or transcatheter aortic valve replacement, and TEER, or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair to their patients.
The podcast will also profile several promising new clinical trials that are evaluating the use of the next generation of catheter-based intervention in TAVR, TEER and TTVR, or transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement.
Dr. Suradi is fellowship-trained in structural heart interventions and is skilled in treating patients with heart valve conditions, such as tight or leaky valves, and those who are born with heart defects. He is also the director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab and the Structural Hybrid Lab.
“At RUSH, we specialize in the treatment of a variety of different structural heart conditions using cutting-edge transcatheter approaches. We’re also excited to take part in several trials that are helping to move patient care forward.”
