KSHB: Oklahoma Family Travels to Kansas City to Receive Lifesaving Heart Procedure

29-year-old and Oklahoma native Chandler DeBolt was born with a congenital heart defect that caused limited blood flow to his body. His family said he needed immediate attention but had extremely limited options before they were referred to Dr. Adnan Chhatriwalla and the Adult Congenital Heart Disease program at Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City.

KSHB  sat down with the DeBolt family to learn more about their journey to Kansas City and Saint Luke's, where Chandler underwent an innovative and minimally invasive heart procedure called a trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
