Valve Sparing Aortic Root Replacement Queens, NY

With advance medical technology, it is possible for those suffering with cardiac complications to get the surgery they need to start living comfortably. If you or a loved one is considering surgery, it is important to find a surgeon with experience you can trust. In New York, Dr. Allan Stewart, MD is one of only a handful of doctors in the world that offers the ground-breaking, valve sparing aortic root replacement procedure as an effective alternative to traditional valve replacement surgery. Having helped many patients improve their health and quality of life for over ten years, Dr. Stewart and his team at the Columbia University Medical Center Aortic Surgery Program, offers patients the support they need.


Unlike conventional valve replacement surgery that can carry great risk and complications, valve sparing aortic root replacement is proven to effectively improve overall health without having to undergo repeat surgeries or leave the patient dependent on anticoagulant medication. Over the course of a decade, Dr. Stewart has performed this surgery for over sixty patients with no mortalities or serious complications. Dr. Stewart is the Director of Aortic Surgery Program and has been honored by several different groups, including the American Association of Thoracic Surgery and the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society.



Modified David’s Reimplantation Procedure 


 The Modified David's Reimplantation Procedure is used to help determine the correctly sized aorta graft, while maintaining the left ventricular outflow tract (the passageway out of the left ventricle), and improve outcomes when using the valve-sparing method.



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


 


As with many surgeries, valve sparing aortic root replacement is not for everyone. To ensure patients with the best possible help, Dr. Stewart offers consultations to address all questions and factors involving complex surgeries. If you are not a candidate for this surgery, Dr. Stewart offers other surgical procedures. Contact Dr. Stewart's office in the New York area today for more information.
