Advanced Technology & Expert Care
When you face an emergency situation, surgery, procedure or living with heart or vascular disease, you want the best possible care. Trust Avera Heart Hospital for an extensive array of advanced technology and services, including:
- Innovative procedures – Includes the WATCHMAN™ procedure which is a one-time implant of the FDA-approved WATCHMAN device into the left atrial appendage of the heart.
