Heart Valve and Structural Disease Research

Beaumont provides state of the art care in performing minimally invasive surgical repair or replacement of patient's heart valves, closure of left atrial appendage and patent foramen ovale. The collaborative team approach by the experts at Beaumont lead to the best treatment options for the patient. This cutting edge research may result in treatment options that were not available in the past as these patients would have been inoperable.
