Discover how you can help support Mayo Clinic.
All diagnosis and treatment options for pulmonary valve disease described in these pages are available at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Each year, Mayo Clinic heart surgeons repair or replace more than 50 pulmonary heart valves, making Mayo Clinic in Rochester one of the largest and most experienced medical centers for these operations.
The Heart Valve Disease Clinic at Mayo Clinic in Rochester integrates the most advanced diagnostic and treatment options with a patient-centered, team approach to the treatment of heart valve disease.
Nationally recognized cardiologists, with years of advanced training, experience and expertise in all aspects of heart valve disease, work as a team to ensure communication and coordination among a patient's clinical cardiologist, heart rhythm specialists (electrophysiologists), cardiac surgeons and cardiologists in the Clinic's catheterization, echocardiographic and nuclear laboratories.
Experts in all areas of diagnosis and treatment are immediately available, resulting in a complete examination, diagnosis and extensive patient education within a day. If surgery is indicated, a cardiac surgeon meets with the patient to thoroughly discuss the surgical options; in most cases, surgery can be performed the following day, if that is the patient's preference.
Because Mayo Clinic is a major medical center conducting clinical trials and research on various aspects of heart valve disease, patients may be eligible to participate in trials or take part in research programs at Mayo Clinic, if appropriate to their condition.
This disease is treated by specialists in Cardiovascular Diseases and Cardiovascular Surgery.
