TEER 600th Procedure

This month, we celebrate a monumental milestone: Our 600th TEER (Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair) procedure, making us the leading provider of this cutting-edge treatment in Houston.

Conducting the largest number of TEER procedures in the area holds immense significance for several reasons. Firstly, a high volume of TEER procedures demonstrates the university’s extensive experience and expertise in this specialized treatment, instilling confidence in patients seeking such interventions. Secondly, with a greater number of procedures performed, the group can accumulate valuable data and insights, leading to improved patient outcomes and refined techniques. Additionally, being the primary provider of TEER procedures in the area allows the university to advance research, collaborate with experts, and stay at the forefront of cutting-edge developments, ultimately elevating the standard of cardiac care and benefiting a larger community of patients.

We are incredibly grateful to our dedicated team of medical professionals, whose unwavering commitment to excellence has made this achievement possible.
