Advanced Care
Heart Failure
Heart failure is a complex, life-changing condition and managing it well requires more than a single appointment or a single doctor. At Saint Francis Heart and Vascular Institute, our dedicated heart failure program brings together advanced heart failure cardiologists, nurses, and support specialists who focus exclusively on this condition and understand its nuances deeply.
We take the time to build a personalized care plan around your full health picture, your lifestyle, and your goals and we work closely with your primary cardiologist, whether they're part of the Saint Francis system or not, to make sure your care stays coordinated and nothing gets lost between providers. From medical management and advanced device therapies to transplant evaluation, HVI offers the full spectrum of heart failure care so you and your family always know where to turn.

Valve & Structural Heart Disease
Treatment options for valve and structural heart disease have expanded dramatically over the last two decades, giving patients more choices and better outcomes than ever before. Whether you were born with a congenital heart condition or have developed a valve problem over time, the specialists at Saint Francis Heart and Vascular Institute bring together surgical expertise, interventional cardiology, and advanced imaging capabilities to diagnose your condition precisely and treat it effectively.
From minimally invasive valve repair and replacement to transcatheter procedures like TAVR that avoid open-heart surgery entirely, our team tailors every treatment plan to your anatomy, your health history, and your life.
VTE (Blood Clots)
Deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and other blood clots can be life-threatening conditions that demand fast, expert care. At Saint Francis Heart and Vascular Institute, our vascular specialists and pulmonologists work together as a dedicated team to diagnose and treat venous thromboembolism (VTE) quickly and precisely because with clots, time matters. From anticoagulation management to advanced interventional procedures, we offer the full range of treatment options tailored to your individual situation, with the goal of resolving the immediate threat and protecting your long-term vascular health.
If you think you may have a blood clot, call 911 immediately. Blood clots can be life-threatening and require emergency care. Do not wait or try to drive yourself.
ECMO & LVAD
When the heart needs more than medicine can offer, Saint Francis Heart and Vascular Institute provides some of the most advanced mechanical support therapies available, including ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) and LVAD (left ventricular assist device) treatment. These therapies are reserved for the most serious cardiac cases, and having them here means that patients facing critical heart failure or cardiac arrest have access to life-sustaining care without being transferred to an unfamiliar facility far from home.
ECMO and LVAD are not just technologies; they require a highly specialized, coordinated team that is practiced, precise, and ready. At HVI, our physicians, surgeons, perfusionists, and critical care nurses work as an integrated unit with deep experience in mechanical circulatory support. Whether ECMO is bridging a patient through a crisis or an LVAD is supporting long-term heart function, our team is with you and your family every step of the way.
