For three decades, the CGHMC Heart Institute<\/strong> has stood at the forefront of cardiovascular care in the Philippines. Built on a foundation of medical excellence, pioneering procedures, and patient-centered care, the institute has continuously pushed the boundaries of what is possible in modern cardiology.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

From introducing groundbreaking treatments to providing life-saving interventions for thousands of patients, the CGHMC Heart Institute<\/strong> has played a significant role in shaping the landscape of cardiovascular medicine in the country.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

As the institute celebrates 30 years of heart innovation<\/strong>, it reflects not only on the milestones achieved but also on the lives saved, the technologies advanced, and the commitment to delivering world-class cardiac care.<\/p>

A Legacy Built on Innovation <\/strong><\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

Heart disease remains one of the leading health challenges worldwide, and addressing it requires constant innovation, expertise, and dedication. Since its establishment, the CGHMC Heart Institute<\/strong> has remained committed to adopting cutting-edge technologies and developing advanced treatment strategies for patients with cardiovascular disease.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Over the past 30 years, the institute has introduced several landmark procedures in the Philippines, demonstrating its leadership in advanced cardiac treatments<\/strong> and minimally invasive interventions, offering patients safer alternatives to traditional open-heart surgery while ensuring quicker recovery and shorter hospital stays.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Among its most significant achievements are:<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

  • Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR)<\/strong> \u2013 first performed in the Philippines in 2000 for patients with abdominal or thoracic aortic aneurysms<\/li>
  • Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR)<\/strong> \u2013 pioneered locally in 2000 for patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms<\/li>
  • Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)<\/strong> with Medtronic CoreValve \u2013 introduced in 2012 for severe aortic valve stenosis<\/li>
  • MitraClip Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER)<\/strong> \u2013 introduced in 2014 for patients with mitral valve regurgitation<\/li>
  • Watchman Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO)<\/strong> \u2013 performed in 2016 to reduce stroke risk among patients with atrial fibrillation<\/li>
  • Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)<\/strong> using the Sapien valve \u2013 introduced in 2024 for severe aortic valve stenosis<\/li>
  • Caval Valve Implantation (CAVI) or TricValve<\/strong> – also pioneered locally in 2024 for patients with severe tricuspid valve disease<\/li>
  • Inner-Branch Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (iBEVAR) <\/strong>– the country\u2019s first in 2025 for the treatment of a complex thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm<\/li>
  • Physician Modified Endograft with Balloon Expandable Covered Stent (PMEG-BECS)<\/strong> – also pioneered locally in 2026 for repair of complex thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms<\/li><\/ul>

    \u00a0<\/p>
