Dr. Hinohara Performed The First Atrial Septal Defect Procedure Using The Gore Cardioform ASD Occluder Device

Jul 13, 2023 | News

Congratulations to Dr. Tim Hinohara, Interventional and Structural Cardiologist! Dr. Hinohara recently performed the first Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) procedure using the Gore Cardioform ASD Occluder device at HCA Northwest Hospital. An ASD is a hole in the heart between the upper chambers, that increases the amount of blood that flows through the lungs. This is usually a congenital condition that is present at birth. The Gore Cardioform Septal Occluder provides a permanent barrier, preventing blood flow between the chambers allowing the heart to function properly. The patient is doing great post-procedure. Vital Heart & Vein offers the latest and most advanced treatment options for ASD.
