Valve Replacement Surgery Brooklyn, NY


Highly invasive valve replacement surgery does not have to be your only option. Dr. Allan Stewart, MD at the Columbia University Medical Center Aortic Surgery Program offers an innovative procedure, known as valve sparing aortic root replacement. This procedure has already given many people a chance to lead a healthy life, without the hassles that are typical for other forms of valve replacement surgery. At the Columbia University Medical Center Aortic Surgery Program, Dr. Stewart's 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 Brooklyn, NY community to his state-of-the-art practice.


Although conventional valve replacement surgeries usually result in the need to undergo surgery every ten years, or take anticoagulant medication for the rest of your life, Dr. Stewart's valve sparing aortic replacement can bring you wonderful results, without those costs. This valve sparing aortic root replacement 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


Dr. Stewart offers consultations to ensure that his patients receive appropriate and quality treatment. Because valve sparing aortic root replacement is not for everyone, Dr. Stewart also offers a number of related procedures, including Dacron replacement graft that spares the patient further surgery for at least 10 years. 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%.


Let Dr. Allan Stewart show you the options that await you. In addition to supporting his clients throughout the decision-making and surgical processes, Dr. Allan Stewart 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 Brooklyn, NY area.
