Valvular heart disease is common, affecting over 10 million people in the U.S.

Once symptoms develop, survival becomes impaired and is worse than many advanced cancers

Life-saving therapy can now be performed with very small incisions, and very low risk.

Patients also may receive their valve therapy without general anesthesia, and be able to leave the hospital after a short stay (often less than three days).
