Congratulations to Dr. Joshua McKay and the team at Heart Hospital of Austin at St. David’s Round Rock for being the first facility in Texas to use a novel thrombectomy catheter system to treat blocked arteries in the lungs. The first-of-its-kind system uses a flexible tube that enables doctors to safely navigate to the blood clot and remove it with controlled suction. This new, minimally invasive procedure was performed as part of a phased trial to gain clearance from the FDA.

So glad we could be part of this special day! 💚⚽️🖤
THANK YOU to Denise Bradley, our amazing Community Advisory Board member, for orchestrating an unforgettable day for our children at the St. David’s Performance Center, the Official Training Facility of Austin FC! 💚 🖤 Special shoutout to the fantastic team members at St. David's HealthCare (Gabe Perlaza, Abbi Miller, Meg Moss) and Austin FC's Alison Roscoe for coordinating and hosting such a memorable afternoon for our children. The kids were thrilled to meet Austin FC soccer players Diego Rubio and Micah Burton, who joined the tour of the facility and shared tips and tricks while kicking the ball around with them on the field! ⚽ After the fun on the field, the kids learned about the importance of nutrition and how to fuel their bodies after endurance activities. To top it all off, the players autographed the kids’ shirts provided by St. David’s Healthcare and sent them home with Austin FC soccer balls! We are so grateful for this incredible experience that the kids will cherish forever! #HopeHappensHere

This past April, St. David’s HealthCare led a panel discussion at SXSW about the use of artificial intelligence in brain mapping. Dr. William Rice, senior vice president of clinical innovation at St. David’s HealthCare, moderated the panel. One of the panelists, Dr. Dhruve Jeevan, a neurosurgeon with St. David’s HealthCare, is using brain mapping as a pre-surgical planning tool to better understand the unique connections of each of his patients with tumors. Through the use of AI, he is able to take patients’ MRIs and visualize the critical brain networks to aid in preserving brain function, lowering the risk of post-surgical complications. Previously, surgeons applied knowledge from generalized brain maps to treat their patients.

Heart Hospital of Austin is the first in Texas to implant a new, innovative treatment option for people with tricuspid regurgitation. This new transcatheter repair system is a minimally invasive therapy to repair leaky tricuspid heart valves without the need for open heart surgery. This minimally invasive approach allows the heart to pump blood more efficiently and relieve symptoms of tricuspid regurgitation, which improves the quality of life for our patients. Our team of specialists at Heart Hospital of Austin are proud to continue to provide quality care to our community using first-of-its-kind and cutting-edge technology. #TheBestIsHere To learn more about our #cardiovascular services: www.stdavids.com/heart

Another first in Central Texas for our team at Heart Hospital of Austin! We are excited to now be able to treat a unique group of patients using a minimally invasive technology to help reduce high blood pressure. Recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the renal denervation system is a procedure that targets nerves near the kidneys that may become overactive and cause high blood pressure. This allows patients to manage their blood pressure, lower their medication, decrease risks of stroke, heart and kidney disease, and improve their lifestyle. As leaders in cardiovascular care, our team of specialists at Heart Hospital of Austin are continuously exploring the latest treatment options that support our patient-centered approach to care.
