Memorial Hermann Heart & Vascular Institute at Southwest Hospital

General Information

Located on the campus of Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital, the Memorial Hermann Heart & Vascular Institute - Southwest opened in 2006 as Houston's first freestanding heart hospital. Dedicated, specialized programming distinguishes the Institute from other facilities.

The Institute's Heart Valve Clinic, for example, offers patients innovative care delivered by a multidisciplinary team of affiliated heart specialists that work together diagnose and treat heart murmurs. For patients whose heart murmur is due to aortic stenosis, the team is experienced in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), in which they replace a patient’s diseased heart valve with an artificial one.. The Arrhythmia Clinic offers innovative minimally invasive procedures, such as surgical ablation and implantation of the WATCHMANTM Left Atrial Appendage Closure device.

At the Institute, physicians and patients alike benefit from the latest technology and innovative cardiovascular programs. Patients will discover an environment dedicated to their complete comfort and recovery.
