Valve Sparing Aortic Root Replacement Connecticut

 


Valve Sparing Aortic Root Replacement Connecticut


If you or a loved has suffered from a previous aneurysm, it can be scary. Getting the right treatment is necessary to effectively help your heart recover. If you're living in Connecticut and looking for a doctor you can trust, Dr. Allan Stewart, MD, the Director of the Aortic Surgery Program at Columbia University Medical Center, specializes in several complex surgeries including the innovative valve sparing aortic root replacement surgery. Dr. Stewart has performed over sixty of these procedures since 2005 with zero mortalities or serious complications. This ground breaking surgery enables the patient to have improved overall health without the risk of repeat surgeries or becoming dependent on anticoagulant medication for life.


In comparison to conventional valve replacement surgery, or valve transplant, the complex valve sparing aortic root replacement surgery was designed as an alternative in order to provide the patient with both a safer and more comfortable option. Dr. Stewart is one of a select group of doctors to effectively perform this procedure. However, as with any type of surgery, not everyone is qualified to be a candidate. If you are not qualified for this procedure, Dr. Stewart offers several surgeries which he specializes in, including the Dacron replacement graft that spares the patient further surgery for at least 10 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


When deciding to undergo any surgery it's important to be included and educated throughout the entire process. Dr. Allan Stewart, MD does his best to support his clients, and provides life-long follow up care at the Aortic Surgery Program at Columbia Medical Center. His many clinical specialties including valve sparing aortic root replacement, and other similar procedures, like valve replacement surgery, are offered to families in the Connecticut area. Contact Dr. Stewart today for a consultation.
