Kudos to this amazing team - Tufts Cardiac Surgery
Tufts Medical Center is the first hospital in Massachusetts to implant the newly FDA approved bioprosthetic mitral valve. Congratulations to Panos Vardas, MD (@pannvar) + team on bringing this next generation treatment option to patients with complex mitral valve disease.
