Leading Structural Heart Care in the Upper Cumberland

A less invasive way to replace a narrowed aortic valve. It can help relieve chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue—without open-heart surgery.

A tiny clip is placed on your mitral valve to help it close more completely and reduce leaking. It’s a non-surgical option for certain high-risk patients.

This small device helps lower stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation who can’t take long-term blood thinners. It’s placed through a small tube in the leg.

A small device is used to close a hole between the heart’s upper chambers (called a patent foramen ovale). This can help reduce the risk of stroke in some patients.

A small device placed in the lung artery to monitor pressure and help manage heart failure more effectively from home.

Minimally invasive closure of leaks around previously replaced heart valves.

A balloon is used to widen a narrowed heart valve to improve blood flow, often as a temporary solution.

A small device is used to close a hole between the upper heart chambers (atrial septal defect) to improve heart function.

A minimally invasive heart procedure used to treat severe tricuspid regurgitation, a condition where the heart’s tricuspid valve does not close properly and allows blood to flow backward. Rather than replacing the valve, this advanced transcatheter approach repairs the existing valve, which can reduce complications and improve quality of life. The procedure is offered by the structural heart team at Cookeville Regional Medical Center and may be an option for patients with tricuspid valve disease and related heart failure after a specialized screening.

For certain patients, open-heart surgery may still be the best option. Our experienced surgeons are here to guide and support you every step of the way.
