Heart Valve Disease Therapies - The New Frontier

Dr. Banerjee leads Oregon Heart & Vascular Institute's programs on valve health and care for serious heart attacks and heart blockages. She specializes in interventional cardiology and valve repair using less invasive methods. These procedures include TAVR and mitral valve repair. They use small instruments and tiny cuts, so patients heal faster with less pain. Dr. Banerjee uses precise technology to find and treat heart conditions. These tools include nuclear imaging, echocardiography and cardiac CT scans. She is board certified in internal medicine, cardiology and interventional cardiology. This means she meets high standards for heart care. "I cherish my relationship with my patients," she says. "Clear communication, ongoing education and mutual respect are vital to successful treatment plans." Dr. Banerjee's research focuses on testing new devices to help future patients with valve conditions. She often speaks about her work at professional conferences. As an educator, she has written textbook chapters and created courses to train the next generation of heart specialists. She also serves as an advocate for new graduates and women in cardiology. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, cooking, spending time with friends and family, hiking and running ... usually after her children!
