Emergency Aortic Aneurysm Surgery Manhattan, NYC

Emergency Aortic Aneurysm Surgery Manhattan, NYC



Undergoing heart surgery is a serious ordeal. If you or a loved one has experienced an aortic aneurysm, you may be scared about taking the next step. If you are required to undergo surgery, you want to be sure you are in the best hands possible. At Columbia University Medical Center, an expert team of medical professionals work hard to ensure you are in the very best hands. CUMC’s patients are evaluated with an echocardiogram, a CT scan, and a cardiac catheterization, when required. Director of the aortic surgery program, Dr. Allen Stewart, MD is a leader in the field, and one of the most trusted surgeons in the country. Dr. Stewart specializes in aortic valve replacement surgery and works with each patient based on their individual needs. 


An alternative to the conventional aortic root replacement surgery, Valve Sparing Aortic Root Replacement is still a fairly new procedure. The procedure involves removal of the damaged section of aorta, while preserving the aortic valve. Since the aortic valve remains intact, anticoagulation therapy is not required. Columbia is a national leader in conducting this valve-sparing operation. Since 2005, Dr. Stewart has performed nearly 60 David procedures with no mortalities and no serious complications. CUMC is treating clients in and around the Manhattan, NY area.


At Columbia University Medical Center, the Aortic Surgery Program specializes in all types of acute and chronic aortic problems including: 



- Acute Type A and Type B dissection
- Ascending aortic aneurysms
- Arch aneurysms
- Aortic root reconstruction
- Homograft procedures
- Valve sparing root replacement
- Mechanical valve conduits


Columbia is one of only a few centers in the nation with extensive experience using this technique. With expert, board certified physicians on hand like Dr. Stewart, you will be treated with the best care and safety you deserve. Nothing is more important than your health. If you are located in the Manhattan, NY area and are ready to take the next step, call CUMC to schedule a consultation.
