Are you or someone you love in need of aortic surgery? There are many factors that go into determining the right surgeon and practice for your families needs. At Columbia University Medical Center, Dr. Allan Stewart MD uses his expertise in a wide range of aortic conditions to offer safe and innovative procedures to the Manhattan, NYC community. Don't let a condition unnecessarily degrade your quality of life. If you're looking for a way to avoid many of the hassles of traditional aortic repair, contact the Aortic Surgeon Program at Columbia University Medical Center today.

If you've researched aortic surgery you know that many of the options come with some life altering side effects. Using a synthetic replacement graft usually means that patients have to take blood thinners for the rest of their lives. While the natural tissue replacement doesn't require blood thinners, the issue degrades over time making repeat surgeries necessary at least every ten years. By utilizing an aortic valve sparing procedure, Dr. Stewart can help you avoid a lifetime on anticoagulants. The Aortic Surgery Program also works closely with the Division of Vascular surgery to provide patients and their families a lifetime of follow-up care. 

Expertise in all types of acute and chronic aortic problems including:

- Acute Type A and Type B dissection
- Ascending aortic and arch aneurysms
- Aortic root reconstruction - including homograft procedures, valve sparing root replacement, and mechanical valve conduits
