Heart & Vascular News

A multi-disciplinary team from our Heart & Vascular Center successfully completed their first (and the world's third) transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR).

Departments in our Orthopedics Center and Heart & Vascular Center rise to the top in an annual analysis of patient satisfaction.

Cardiac experts perform 500th TAVR procedure – more than any other center in the region.

Barnes-Jewish Hospital, consistently ranked as one of the nation’s best hospitals and heart and vascular centers, was recently honored with two prestigious awards: the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Foundation’s NDCR ACTION Registry®–Get With the Guidelines™ (GWTG) Platinum Performance Achievement Award and the American Heart Association’s (AHA) 2014 Resuscitation Quality Achievement Award.

Specialists at the Washington University and Barnes-Jewish Heart & Vascular Center are the first in the region to add a second valve option for use in the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure, making it possible to treat a wider range of patients.
