Biography

Valluvan Jeevanandam, MD is board-certified in Cardiothoracic Vascular Surgery. His specialties include:

  • Cardiac Surgery (Heart Surgery)
  • Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs)
  • Heart Transplant
  • Valvuloplasty
  • Artificial Hearts
  • Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
  • Bloodless Heart Surgery
    • Care Philosophy

    Dr. Jeevanandam has repaired damaged hearts in several patients awaiting transplant, allowing these patients to forgo a transplantation. He has also performed successful transplants involving patients who do not fit the criteria for a transplant. Dr. Jeevanandam has received national attention for his skill in performing bloodless cardiac surgery. This requires the precise use of surgical techniques to minimize blood loss during the procedure, decreasing the need for a blood transfusion.

    Dr. Jeevanandam is a pioneer in the field of mechanical circulatory assist devices. He was the first surgeon in the world to successfully implant the CardioVad in October 2000. The CardioVad is a permanent circulatory assist device that boosts heart function in patients with severe heart failure who would not be considered a transplant candidate.

    Dr. Jeevanandam has a special interest in treating patients traditionally considered inoperable.
