Aorta Replacement Surgery Manhattan, NYC


Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with an aneurysm? It's a scary condition that could mean major life style changes for you and your family. At the world renowned Columbia University Medical Center Department of Surgery Dr. Allan Stewart, M.D. is here to help those struggling with this serious condition live normal and comfortable lives. He offers an innovative aortic replacement alternative that avoids many of the hassles of traditional aortic surgery. If you're searching for a dedicated and experienced heart surgeon in the Manhattan, NYC area, contact Columbia Medical Center today.


In the past, aortic surgery either replaced the aorta with a synthetic graft or a natural tissue replacement graft. Both procedures come with stressful compromises. Using synthetic grafts require the patient to take periodic blood thinner for the rest of their lives, while natural replacement tissue is likely to slowly decay to the point where repeat surgery will be needed within the next decade.


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's aortic replacement surgery uses an innovative Dacron replacement technique that spares the patient further surgery for at least 10 years and often more. Using artificial replacement poses no threat of decay and patients need occasional blood thinner. Since the introduction of the procedure in 1996 93% of his patients remain completely symptom free. Recent technological breakthroughs have made of the patients since 2005 totally free of symptoms.


At the Columbia University Medical Center Dr. Stewart wants to make sure patients and their families enjoy the same freedom they had before surgery. If you or someone you love is in need of an experienced and innovative heart surgeon in Manhattan, NYC area, call Columbia University Medical Center today.
