The Methodist Hospital chosen for percutaneous valve replacement study

The Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center was chosen today as a site for a critical percutaneous heart valve study. As part of the research study, Methodist physicians will replace diseased cardiac valves through a single, tiny puncture hole in the research subject's groin.

"Using this new technique in the study, we will be able to replace severely calcified and damaged aortic valves without open heart surgery or removal of the original diseased valve," said Dr. Neal Kleiman, director of the catheterization labs at the Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center and cardiology principal investigator for the trial. "This study is the only way individuals have access to this technique in the United States."

Heart disease is very much a woman’s disease. The American Heart Association reports that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women older than 25, killing almost twice the number of women in this country than breast and all other cancers combined.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disorder resulting in the heart muscle thickening with no apparent cause, sometimes resulting in sudden cardiac death – especially in young athletes. MDCA physicians diagnose this through family member screening, echocardiograms and MRI imaging. In addition to medical therapy, treatment may include alcohol septal ablation—initiated in the USA by physicians in MDCA.

Methodist physicians replace diseased heart valve through small hole in the leg

Physicians at the Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center in Houston implanted a new investigational heart valve in a patient through a small puncture hole in the leg.

Mr. Dale Wilber, 69 year old retiree from Arkansas, had the new valve implanted in Houston on Feb. 16, 2011. The disease restricted blood flow from his heart to his vital organs. This can weaken the heart over time and cause chest pain, fatigue and heart failure. By having a valve implanted through a small hole in the leg, he hopes to shorten his recovery time and prevent complications that sometimes occur after major heart surgery. Wilber is recovering comfortably in his hospital room, hoping to be on the road in his 40-foot motor home exploring the country with this wife soon.
