Texas Heart Institute and Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center Receive Houston’s First American College of Cardiology (ACC) Transcatheter Valve Certification
Experts at the Texas Heart Institute and Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center have earned a prestigious American College of Cardiology (ACC) accreditation as a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) Center of Excellence, making their program the first in Houston to be recognized for this level of quality and clinical outcomes.
