Research
Mayo Clinic researchers work to improve catheter-based tests and treatments and to find new uses for them. Doctors in Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Research Center study technology and methods to improve quality of care.
Some areas of catheter-based research include:
- Ways to replace heart valves without surgery.
- Methods to close the left atrial appendage to reduce the risk of stroke.
- Cardiac catheterization to treat atrial fibrillation.
