TAVR Doctors

NewYork-Presbyterian’s world-class team of heart specialists leads the nation in minimally invasive heart valve repair and replacement procedures, achieving extraordinary outcomes in one of the nation’s largest heart programs. Our Columbia and Weill Cornell Medicine doctors pioneer major studies assessing new approaches to treating damaged aortic, mitral, and pulmonary valves.

Our doctors performed one of the first transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR), a minimally invasive treatment for aortic valve disease. Today, we are proud to offer the most experienced program of its kind in the country. We see patients and perform TAVR procedures at our hospitals in the Upper East Side, Washington Heights, Queens, and Brooklyn.

NewYork-Presbyterian’s cardiologists, heart surgeons, interventional cardiologists, and cardiac imaging experts work together to customize the best care for each patient. Our physicians and surgeons, innovators in the field, collaborate to develop and refine minimally invasive techniques that speed recovery for patients while achieving higher survival rates with fewer complications.

A cardiologist or cardiac surgeon will recommend a treatment option that is right for the patient’s condition, depending on the type of valve disease, the level of damage, symptoms, and patient’s age and medical history.

Our Approach to Care

Our Approach to Care

NewYork-Presbyterian TAVR team

If a damaged heart valve does not close properly, it can leak and blood can flow backward. A leaky valve forces the heart to work harder and eventually can cause heart failure. That’s why it’s crucial to treat heart valve disease early. Open-heart surgery was once the only option. Through one of the country’s most experienced heart valve programs, NewYork-Presbyterian now offers less invasive heart valve treatments.
