Valve Sparing Aortic Root Replacement New Jersey


 


If you or a loved one is living with an aneurism the anxiety it can cause is devastating. When researching your options for aneurism repair procedures, it's disheartening when you find out that most of them are associated with several life altering complications. At the world renowned Columbia University Medical Center, Dr. Allan Stewart, MD offers the families of New Jersey an alternative, with the valve sparing aortic root replacement procedure. This procedure offers patients the same quality of life they previously enjoyed.


Finding a surgeon you can trust can be extremely difficult. The Columbia University Medical Center Aortic Surgery program provides experts who've committed their careers to studying and solving diseases of the heart. Traditional aortic repair surgeries use either a natural transplant, or a synthetic graft, unfortunately, each carry considerable risk factors. The natural transplants degrades over time and usually requires additional surgery within the next ten years, while those who chose a synthetic replacement have to take blood thinners for the rest of their lives. The valve sparing aortic root replacement is a rare procedure designed to spare individuals and their families a lifetime of compromises and complications.


Dr. Stewart is one of the few doctors in the world capable of performing this ground breaking procedure. Since 2005 the Aortic Surgery Program, which is headed by Dr. Stewart has preformed over 60 of the valve sparing aortic root replacement procedure without any mortalities or serious complications. He also offers patients and their loved ones a lifetime of follow up care. Though the valve sparing procedure isn't for everyone, the Aortic Surgery Program offers a unique Darcon replacement graft that can relieve patients and their families' further surgery for at least ten years.


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


With the valve sparing aortic root replacement surgery you and your loved ones can begin to feel liberated from the despair an aneurism can cause. If you are living in the New Jersey area, and want to learn more about the valve sparing aortic root replacement procedure, contact Dr. Grant today for a consultation.
