Cardiothoracic surgeon Vaughn Starnes and interventional cardiologist Ray Matthews led three back-to-back heart valve replacements on patients who are part of a U.S. clinical trial testing a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment for aortic stenosis. To complete the experimental procedure, doctors need advanced imaging equipment to replace the diseased valve by threading a narrow catheter through the skin. The new 1,100-square-foot hybrid room at Keck Hospital is designed for both catheter-based and surgical treatments.
