The American College of Cardiology has recognized UNC Medical Center for its demonstrated expertise and commitment in treating patients receiving transcatheter valve repair and replacement procedures.

Participation in established national clinical databases such as the STS\/ACC TVT Registry is required for hospitals interested in achieving Transcatheter Valve Certification.<\/p>\n

\nAccreditation Services is proud to award UNC Medical Center with Transcatheter Valve Certification.\u201d<\/p>\n
