Departments


Caregivers from the Heart and Vascular Institute's four departments - Cardiovascular Medicine, Cardiac Surgery, Vascular Surgery and Interventional Radiology - collaborate with other medical and surgical specialties to provide the highest level of patient care, research and education to patients with cardiac, vascular and related conditions. 

Research and Clinical Trials

Research is a core mission of Carle Heart and Vascular Institute (HVI). HVI works closely with the Stephen’s Family Clinical Research Institute to offer patients leading-edge therapies through clinical trials. Our physician investigators (cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons and radiologists) are involved in multiple national and investigator-initiated studies that span the field of pharmacotherapy and interventional devices. Also, HVI is actively involved in translational research activities in collaboration with the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology.

Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) Consortium Registry

The purpose of this registry (“the PERT Registry”) is to gather data on patients diagnosed with pulmonary embolism, treated by the Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) at each site and beyond for epidemiologic, therapeutic, quality assessment and outcomes research.

A Pivotal, Multicenter, Blinded, Sham Procedure-Controlled Trial of Renal Denervation by the Peregrine System™ Kit, in Subjects with Hypertension

The TARGET BP I Trial is a randomized, blinded, multi-center, international, sham-procedure controlled trial, comparing renal denervation performed with the Peregrine System Kit in the treatment group to the sham control group (without renal denervation - no alcohol infusion). Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to treatment versus sham control via central randomization.
