Murfreesboro, Tenn.-based Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford opened its Structural Heart and Valve Center Feb. 4, WGNS reported.
The center will provide advanced treatments, including transcatheter aortic valve replacement, left atrial appendage closure, and other minimally invasive valve repair and replacement procedures. It is led by Wilson Clements, MD, and Aaron Hoffman, MD, both cardiothoracic surgeons, and Soubhi Azzouz, MD, an interventional and structural cardiologist.
“Bringing this level of care to our community is part of our mission to deliver high-quality, evidence-based treatment close to home,” Daphne David, president and CEO of Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford, said in the report. “Patients can now access procedures once only available by traveling to our hospital in Nashville, right here in Rutherford County.”
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
