How one Modesto hospital's life-saving procedure makes life easier for heart patients
Feb 18, 2019
Doctors Medical Center of Modesto now has a minimally invasive procedure for fixing mitral valves for older or sicker patients who are a high risk for surgery.
Dr. Talwinderdeep Kahlon was trained on the East Coast in transcatheter mitral valve repair and performed the first TMVR at the Modesto hospital in October.
The procedure is the latest addition to the hospital’s cardiac program.
