Valve Sparing Aortic Root Replacement Queens, NY


With advances in the medical field, more options are available to people who are looking for effective and lasting surgical procedures to resolve heart valve complications. Dr. Allan Stewart, MD offers the innovative valve sparing aortic root replacement procedure as an effective alternative to traditional valve replacement surgery. Dr. Stewart is one of the few in his field to successfully perform this procedure, having already helped many patients improve their health and quality of life through the valve sparing surgery. At the Columbia University Medical Center Aortic Surgery Program, his expertise shines through as this procedure is designed to be both safer and more comfortable than conventional valve replacement procedures for patients in the long-term. Dr. Stewart welcomes the Queens, NY community to his state-of-the-art practice.


Whereas, traditional valve replacement surgery, or transplant can bring serious complications, Dr. Stewart's valve sparing aortic replacement procedure has proven to improve overall health without the use of repeat surgical procedures or having to take anticoagulant medication for life. This valve sparing aortic root replacement performed by Dr. Stewart is considered by many surgeons to be a complex and difficult procedure, however, thankfully since 2005 Dr. Stewart and the Columbia University Medical Center have preformed over 60 of these procedures with no mortalities and no serious complications.


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


While valve sparing aortic root replacement is a great option for patients, it is not for everyone. Therefore, Dr. Stewart offers consultations to ensure that his patients receive appropriate and quality treatment, and that they qualify for the valve sparing treatment. If it, in fact, is not an option, Dr. Stewart offers a number of other procedures to accommodate his clients, including a Dacron replacement graft that spares the patient further surgery for at least 10 years. He has extensive expertise in the field and boasts: since 1996, 93% of the patients at Columbia University Medical Center Aortic Surgery Program are symptom free, and since 2005 that figure has improved to 100%. For such a delicate surgery, you should be in the hands of a qualified surgeon that you can trust.


Dr. Allan Stewart does his best to support his clients throughout the entire process, and provides life-long follow up care at the Aortic Surgery Program at Columbia Medical Center. His valve sparing aortic root replacement, and other similar procedures, like valve replacement surgery, are offered to all families in the Queens, NY area. Contact Dr. Stewart today for more information.
