The Spirit of Innovation: Clinical Research at Baptist Cardiac & Vascular Institute
Baptist Cardiac & Vascular Institute offers the advantages of a patient-friendly community hospital with the cutting-edge research of a major academic medical center. Our patients have access to new technology years before they would at other regional hospitals. Most of our trials focus on less invasive tests and treatments that save lives without traditional surgery.
Institute patients have access to:
- 20+ studies of minimally invasive devices and procedures. Click here to see if you are eligible for one of our current trials.
- Special treatment devices benefiting patients with rare conditions or diseases.
- Tests and treatments developed by Institute physicians.
Access to emerging research gives you more treatment options. This could mean having a less invasive procedure instead of traditional open surgery.
Patient Protection
To protect our patients, every clinical trial undergoes rigorous review by the Baptist Health South Florida Institutional Review Board. Baptist Cardiac & Vascular Institute has a dedicated research department that coordinates trials and that works directly with patients enrolled in studies. Our staff includes highly qualified registered nurses with specialized research training and a cardiovascular specialist. They work individually with patients to ensure that the patient receives quality care throughout his or her study participation.
