Trusted treatments from Abbott for your cardiovascular health.

When you or someone you love is diagnosed with a heart or vascular condition, it’s normal to experience feelings of worry or stress. Your care team works hard to recommend the best treatment for your unique needs. They may recommend a treatment or therapy from Abbott as an option for treatment.

Therapies for Heart Failure

Therapies for Heart Failure

  • Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

    An implantable cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) sends an electrical shock to your heart muscle when it detects an abnormal heartbeat, to get it beating as it should.

  • Heart Pumps

    A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) helps your heart pump blood throughout the body when your heart is too weak to pump blood on its own.

  • Pulmonary Artery Pressure Monitoring

    A pulmonary artery pressure monitoring system helps you and your care team stay ahead of heart failure progression by taking readings of your pulmonary artery pressure remotely and sending them to your doctor.

Therapies for Heart Failure
Therapies for Slow or Irregular Heartbeat

Therapies for Slow or Irregular Heartbeat

  • Cardiac Ablation

    Ablation for atrial fibrillation is a procedure that scars or removes the abnormal heart tissue causing your heart to beat out of sync, so it can beat normally again.

  • Cardiac Monitoring

    An implantable cardiac monitor helps your care team track your irregular heartbeat so they can make treatment recommendations for your heart health.

  • Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators

    An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) sends electrical pulses to your heart whenever it detects a very fast heartbeat to help slow it down and beat normally.

  • Pacemakers

    A pacemaker is an implantable device that monitors and sends electrical pulses to the heart to establish a normal rhythm.

Therapies for Mitral Regurgitation and Aortic Stenosis

  • Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair

    Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr), also known as transcatheter edge to edge repair (TEER) is a simple procedure to fix your mitral valve, where a small implanted clip is attached to help it close more completely and help restore normal blood flow through your heart.

  • Mitral Valve Replacement

    If your diseased mitral valve cannot be repaired, it can be replaced with a mechanical valve or a tissue valve. These artificial (prosthetic) valves are designed to mimic the function of a natural, healthy heart valve.

  • Aortic Valve Replacement

    Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is an open-heart procedure, where your damaged valve is replaced with a mechanical valve or a tissue valve. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement/implantation (TAVR/TAVI) is an alternative, minimally invasive treatment option for people who are not candidates for open-heart surgery.

Stroke treatment options

Stroke Treatment Options

  • Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Closure

    PFO closure is a simple procedure to close the patent foramen ovale in the heart to stop the blood flow, thereby reducing the risk of another stroke.

  • Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) Occlusion

    LAA occlusion is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure where a device is used to seal off the left atrial appendage in the heart to prevent clots from escaping into the rest of the body, reducing the risk of stroke.

  • Learn about Coronary Artery Disease

    Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a narrowing or blockage of the arteries that carry blood to your heart. CAD is what can cause a heart attack. Find out about symptoms and treatments.

  • Learn About Peripheral Artery Disease

    Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a narrowing or blockage of the arteries that carry blood to your legs, arms, head, and stomach. Find out about symptoms and treatments.

Therapies for Congenital Heart Disease

  • Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Closure

    ASD closure is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure where a device is implanted to seal an atrial septal defect (hole in the heart) to stop the abnormal flow of blood between the upper chambers (atria) of the heart.

  • Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) Closure

    VSD closure is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure where a device is implanted to seal a ventricular septal defect (hole in the heart) to stop the abnormal flow of blood between the lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart.

  • Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) Closure

    PDA closure is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure where a device is implanted to seal the ductus arteriosus (blood vessel) connecting the aorta with the pulmonary artery to stop the abnormal flow of blood.

  • Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) Closure in Infants

    When the ductus arteriosus (blood vessel) remains open after birth, a device can be safely implanted in infants to help seal the opening (close the PDA) in a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure to stop the abnormal flow of blood between the aorta and pulmonary artery.
