Structural Heart Disease is an evolving field within interventional cardiology that includes congenital heart defects as well as other abnormalities involving heart valves and the walls of the heart. Minimally-invasive, catheter-based procedures to repair or, in the case of certain heart valves, replace damaged structures within the heart are increasingly performed as alternatives to open-heart surgery.
