What is TEER?
TEER is used to treat severe mitral regurgitation caused by chronic valvular disease, one of the most common causes of heart disease in dogs. The procedure involves placing a device via a ventricular catheter to connect the edges of the mitral valve, significantly reducing or eliminating leakage. This treatment is now available to pets at BluePearl Tampa, located at 3000 Busch Lake Blvd, Tampa, FL 33614.

The TEER procedure is currently available to pets at BluePearl Tampa due to the specialized training and expertise of the cardiology team, led by Dr. Bradley Harris, DACVECC, Cardiologist at BluePearl Pet Hospital, Tampa.
