Oscar DeHoyos was experiencing chest pain when he came to Longview Regional for a routine cardiac catheterization with Dr. Greifenkamp. They discovered his problem was much more serious and he was immediately referred to our cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon, Dr. David Jayakar.

Dr. Jayakar performed quintuple bypass open heart surgery and saved his life.

Hear from Oscar and his son, Carlos, as they share their amazing experience with the Heart & Vascular Institute at Longview Regional Medical Center.

Your Teen’s Heart Matters ❤️

Did you know some heart conditions can go undetected until it’s too late?
If you have a teen (ages 14–18) involved in any athletic activity, this is your chance to take a proactive step for their health.

🗓️ Join us Saturday, February 28, 2026, at Longview Regional Medical Center for our annual FREE Teen Heart Screen.

Why is this important?
These screenings help detect heart conditions that often show no symptoms but can pose serious risks, including Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy — the leading cause of sudden cardiac arrest in young athletes.

Samir Germanwala, D.O., FACC, FSCAI, is a board-certified interventional cardiologist and has practiced in Longview for over 20 years.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), also known as TAVR or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), is a procedure to treat aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the aortic valve. The narrowing blocks the flow of blood to your body and forces your heart to work harder.

Dr. Germanwala is the first structural cardiologist in East Texas and has performed over 500 TAVR's, along with a very busy mitral clip and aortic aneurysm repair practice. He is a medical faculty educator for TAVR and directs multiple national conferences.

Learn more about TAVR from Dr. Samir Germanwala.
