Carilion Clinic Cardiovascular Clinic is first in the region to perform tricuspid valve replacement

Congratulations to Dr. Jason Foerst and the structural heart team in the CRMH Cardiac Catheterization Lab for performing the region’s first tricuspid valve replacement.  This groundbreaking, minimally invasive procedure offers a treatment option for patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation by replacing the tricuspid valve without the need for open heart surgery--  resulting in quicker recovery times and reduced risk of complications.
