ADULT CARDIAC SURGERY
VALVE DISEASE
UAB Cardiothoracic Surgery’s Comprehensive Valve Program has expertise in all aspects of valve-related
surgery, including procedures treating infectious disease, stenotic and insufficient valves, and congenital
valvular heart disease. Both standard and minimally invasive valve repair/replacement procedures are
performed. In addition to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), we offer aortic and mitral valve
treatment, valvuloplasty, valve replacement surgery, robotic valve repair, valve-sparing aortic root replacement,
and the Ross Procedure.
UAB has performed more than 3,500 valve procedures from 2009 through 2015 and continues to see steady
volumes and excellent outcomes. More than 28% of valve procedures performed were reoperations.
