The SSM Heart Institute is a leader in minimally invasive mitral and aortic valve surgery. If you have been diagnosed with valvular disease and are recommended for surgery, you should learn about all of your options.
To learn more, make an appointment to meet with one of our surgeons, who are leaders in their field. Our surgeons will provide a thorough assessment of your condition and make recommendations, which may or may not include surgery. If you are living with valvular disease and being treated medicinally, you can also make an appointment with our surgeons to learn about how interventional surgery can rectify your condition and help prevent long-term health problems such as congestive heart failure.
You may benefit from the 2nd Opinion program if:
- You have been diagnosed with mitral valve or aortic valve disorders.
- You are being treated with medications but may benefit more significantly from a surgical solution.
- You have already been treated with a procedure but continue to have problems.
- You have been recommended for valve surgery but want to consider all options, including minimally invasive procedures.
To make a 2nd Opinion appointment with an SSM Heart Institute surgeon, please call 314-647-8269. It’s the best and easiest way to explore all of your options.
