The cardiovascular team at Cheng Hsin General Hospital has once again earned international recognition. Dr. Wei-Hsien Yin, Vice Superintendent of Cheng Hsin General Hospital, was invited to New York to speak at New York Valves, the largest heart valve conference in the Americas, where he delivered two keynote presentations.
Focusing on high-risk and complex transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures, Dr. Yin shared Cheng Hsin’s clinical experience and outcomes using the BASILICA and UNICORN techniques. These advanced approaches help reduce the risk of coronary artery obstruction following valve implantation, enhancing both the safety and success of TAVR procedures.
The successful implementation of these procedures relies on a fully integrated multidisciplinary heart team. At Cheng Hsin General Hospital, specialists in interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery, anesthesiology, cardiovascular imaging, and postoperative care work closely together from pre-procedural evaluation through post-procedural recovery, ensuring patients receive safer, more efficient, and comprehensive care.
Under the leadership of Superintendent Dr. Jeng Wei, Cheng Hsin General Hospital continues to advance innovation in cardiovascular medicine while showcasing Taiwan’s world-class expertise in advanced cardiac care to the international medical community.
