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
-
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.
-
International Normalized Ratio Remote Monitoring (INR)
Warfarin is a medication that helps prevent blood from clotting and you can monitor its effectiveness through testing your INR level. A remote INR monitoring service enables you to report your INR results remotely to your physician without having to travel to a lab or a doctor’s office.
-
Heart Pump Supplies & Services
A ventricular assist device (VAD) remote monitoring service directly provides you with essential care equipment for your VAD and remote monitoring services that directly connect you with to your doctor.
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 Leaky Heart Valves and Aortic Stenosis
-
Mitral Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair
Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) is also known as transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr). Based on your level of risk, M-TEER can be a minimally invasive procedure to fix your mitral valve, where a small implanted device 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, your doctor may recommend it 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 select patients who are not candidates for open-heart surgery.
-
Tricuspid Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair
Tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) is also known as transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVr). For select patients, T-TEER can be a minimally invasive procedure to repair the tricuspid valve. The implanted device helps your own tricuspid valve close properly, improving blood flow and reducing symptoms.
Stroke Treatment Options
-
Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Closure
In people with a patent foramen ovale (PFO), blood and blood clots can bypass the lungs. Clots that move through your heart can get pumped to the brain and cause a stroke. This is called a PFO-associated stroke. Closing the PFO with a device called an occluder is a minimally invasive procedure that can lower your risk of having 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.
Therapies for Congenital Heart Disease
-
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Closure
ASD closure is a minimally invasive 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 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 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 procedure to stop the abnormal flow of blood between the aorta and pulmonary artery.

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.
-
Learn about Carotid Artery Disease and Stroke Prevention
Carotid Artery Disease is the narrowing or obstruction of the carotid arteries creating a risk of plaque traveling to the brain, where it can cause a stroke. Find out about symptoms and treatments.
