Minimally Invasive Approaches to Cardiac Surgery
This reviews advances in cardiac surgical procedures including new therapeutic approaches to treat valvular disease, heart failure/heart transplantation, and aortic disease. Discussion will include application of new minimally invasive techniques and potential for stem cell application to treat essential and complex cardiovascular conditions.
Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Why has angioplasty garnered more news attention in recent years? Dr. Steven L. Goldberg, professor of medicine in the division of cardiovascular diseases at the University of Washington School of Medicine and director of the UW Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at the UW Medical Center, examines coronary angioplasty, also known as Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, or PCI. Goldberg considers one patient case to demonstrate the decision-making process behind a procedure like a PCI. See inside the heart to understand what heart conditions may lead to a PCI, and how a PCI is performed. Further examination of studies on PCIs lead Goldberg to his closing conclusions on the subject.
Cardiac Defect Closure as Treatment for Stroke
Steven Cramer, M.D., Steven L. Goldberg and Tom Jones, M.D., physicians with the University of Washington Regional Heart Center, review the medical evaluation and surgical procedures for stroke treatment.
Stem Cell Therapy in Cardiac Disease
How can we harness the power of stem cells to repair the heart or other damaged organs? Dr. Chuck Murry, Dept. of Pathology; Director, Center for Cardiovascular Biology at the University of Washington describes a spectrum of approaches, ranging from understanding the basic science of stem cell differentiation, to using stem cells to create new tissues.
And the Beat Goes On - Advances in Cardiac Care, Part 1
From interventional cardiology and the use of intravascular ultrasound to using stem cells to regenerate heart muscle, this program brings together an array of experts from several fields who will demonstrate the latest medical advances and innovations in heart care.

Atrial Fibrillation: A Surgical Perspective
Dr. Gabriel Aldea outlines the latest in surgical techniques to repair the irregular rhythms, rapid heart beats, blood clots and ineffective heart muscle contractions associated with atrial fibrillation. He also discusses the restoration of normal cardiac function using catheters, pacemakers and gives insight on the surgical MAZE technique and innovations in ultrasound, laser and cryothermal tools.
Regional Heart Center
A look at the in surgical techniques to repair the irregular rhythms, rapid heart beats, blood clots and ineffective heart muscle contractions associated with atrial fibrillation. Restoration of normal cardiac function using catheters, pacemakers, and the surgical MAZE technique, as well as innovations in ultrasound, laser and cryothermal tools are discussed.

Heart Arrhythmia
Patricia Awisus was experiencing arrhythmia – irregular heart rhythm – and couldn’t be as active as she wanted. “I’m so glad that I’m living in a time when [doctors] can do something,” she said. Awisus sought care at UW Medicine’s Regional Heart Center, where Dr. Robert Rho installed a permanent pacemaker. Cardiac electrophysiology expertise enables physicians here to improve patients’ longevity and quality of life. To view the full Inside Access program, go to Inside Access: The Regional Heart Center.
