Each year, over 500 open-heart surgeries, 1,800 interventional procedures and 2,700 diagnostic services are performed as our nationally renowned heart program continues to grow. We’re leaders in treating heart disease, complex rhythm disorders, advanced structural heart and valve conditions and heart failure. Morton Plant Hospital is also the only hospital in the United States to be awarded the Truven Top 50 Cardiovascular Hospital designation 15 times.
A testament to its high standards of quality, Morton Plant Hospital was the first hospital in Tampa Bay chosen to offer the TAVR procedure for patients with severe aortic stenosis, and our team has completed more than 1,800 TAVR procedures, making ours the most experienced facility and treatment team in the region. The Center for Advanced Valve and Structural Heart Care holds the Transcatheter Valve Certification from the American College of Cardiology (ACC). This certification uses an external review process that pairs with established national clinical databases to monitor patient safety and real-world outcomes for transcatheter valve therapies. As a result of the quality and outcomes of the program, Morton Plant’s heart team physicians have access to all available valve products and many investigational and research trials. Many patients who were previously not eligible candidates for surgery can now receive relief thanks to this monumental procedure.
