Heart Surgery Brooklyn, New York at C.U.M.C. Department of Surgery Division of Cardiology

Has a sudden aortic aneurism afflicted the lives of you and the ones you love? There's nothing easy or simple about heart surgery. Much of the time finding the best treatment can be just as hard to deal with as the condition because many of the treatment options carry restrictions on life after surgery. For the past ten years, Dr. Allan Stewart MD researched and solved a wide range of aortic conditions using the latest minimally-invasive techniques. The Cardiac Division of the Columbia University Medical Center performs over 1600 open-heart procedures, and extends their world-class care to the Brooklyn, NY community.

No matter the procedure, it's tough to find right medical team for your needs. Dr. Stewart is very familiar with the struggle that families fighting aortic aneurisms go through. Many are stuck choosing between a life on anticoagulants or having to deal with the stress of repeat surgery every 10 years. With access to the latest medical technology, the Aortic Surgery Program offers a safer treatment plan. With the valve sparing aortic root procedure Dr. Stewart can repair the aortic artery rather than replace it, saving patients a lifetime of stress and adjustments. Since 2005, the program has preformed over 60 these procedures without mortalities or serious complications.

The Aortic Surgery Program continues the tradition of excellent care set by the Columbia University Medical Center. Its parent division, Cardiac has been one of "America's Best Hospitals" by U.S. News & World Report for the last 7 years. Since 1996, 93% of patients are complication free, and since 2005 all are without any major difficulty. Heart surgery can be a tremendous ordeal for you and the ones you love, but Dr. Stewart and the team at the Aortic Surgery Program at your side, you've got access some of the best health care available today.
