The certification honors the facility for meeting the highest standards as determined by the ACC for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and Mitraclip procedures, according to an April 6 news release. 

TAVR and Mitraclip procedures are less invasive alternatives to open heart repair or replacement. 

The first TAVR was performed at the PeaceHealth facility in 2012, and since then, surgeons have performed more than 1,200. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
