Valve Replacement Surgery Bronx, New York at C.U.M.C. Department of Surgery Division of Cardiology

Are you unsure on how to handle an aortic aneurism? Has it caused your family excessive stress and anxiety? It can be a very difficult condition to live with, because at anytime it can turn into a rupture and cause a nightmare for you the ones you love. The conventional treatment methods don't make it any easier, many of them come with several life altering strings attached. For the past decade, Dr. Allan Stewart MD has learned and treated many chronic and acute aortic conditions. Today, at the Columbia University Medical Center he offers an innovative valve replacement surgery, which can allow you to maintain the same quality of life you had before this ordeal began. If you're considering aortic surgery in the Bronx, NY area, contact the Columbia University Medical Center today.

Considering any surgical procedure is difficult. Dr. Stewart's heart goes out especially to those struggling to determine the right treatment plan for their aortic condition. The traditional methods, aortic transplant and synthetic substitute both come with life-altering concusses. The synthetic replacements require patients to intake blood-thinners for the rest of their lives. Though the natural transplants don't require anticoagulants, they degrade over time requiring repeat surgery within ten years. The valve replacement procedure is able to repair the aorta rather than replace it, saving you a lifetime of hassles. However, valve replacement surgery isn't for everyone. Dr. Stewart will work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your needs. Where aortic replacement would be beneficial, he offers a Darcon replacement graft that can save you from complications for at least ten years.

Since 2005 the Aortic Program has performed 60 procedures without any mortalities or serious complications. With the assistance of the Vascular Division, Dr. Stewart is able to offer patients and their loved ones lifetime follow-up care. At Columbia University Medical Center they know that a serious condition requires a serious solution. Dr. Stewart and his team strive to bring the latest medical technologies, to the Bronx, NY community. The Columbia University Medical Center allows them to offer it at affordable rates.
