Over the last 10 years of his career, he has been at the forefront of minimally invasive and transcatheter valve repair and replacement. Dr. Hyde has been an investigator on Tendyne and Apollo trials, both of which replace the mitral valve without a sternotomy, as well as Edward's continued access to transcatheter aortic valve replacement in low-risk populations and Boston Scientific Acurate Neo2 transcatheter aortic valve replacement trial.

Dr. Hyde views heart valve treatment from a holistic standpoint. Open heart surgery is not always the best option. Dr. Hyde strives to treat each patient individually; medical, transcatheter, and open yet minimally invasive techniques are considered for everyone. Dr. Hyde has performed well over 100 transcatheter mitral valve repairs with MitraClip, leading the way for surgeons in the state of Texas.
