New Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Procedure Available at UVA

hospital bedIt wasn't long ago that Christina Mae Bowles was often so short of breath - caused by a leaky heart valve - she couldn't even talk on the phone.

But after coming to UVA Health System's Scott Lim, M.D., Bowles was able to get back to her old routine by becoming the first person in Virginia to undergo a new procedure to fix leaky heart valves.

Learn more about Bowles' story, or get more information from Club Red's Heart 101 page about the risk factors for heart valve disease.
