Has a sudden aortic aneurysm afflicted the lives of you and the ones you love? There's nothing easy or simple about cardiac surgery. Much of the time finding the best treatment can be just as hard to deal with as the condition because many of the treatment options carry restrictions on life after surgery. The staff of talented surgeons and nurses have been treating complicated heart conditions over the past ten years with over 1600 open-cardiac procedures performed annually. Columbia now extends their world-class care to the Bronx, NY community, so call today.

No matter the procedure, it's tough to find right medical team for your needs. Dr. Stewart is very familiar with the struggle that families fighting aortic aneurisms go through. Many are stuck choosing between a life on anticoagulants or having to deal with the stress of repeat surgery every 10 years. With access to the latest medical technology, the Aortic Surgery Program offers a safer treatment plan. With the valve sparing aortic root procedure Dr. Stewart can repair the aortic artery rather than replace it, saving patients a lifetime of stress and adjustments.
