Why Choose Us

Pioneers in Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Repair

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 programs. Our Columbia and Weill Cornell Medicine doctors led major studies assessing new approaches to treat damaged aortic valves, mitral valves, and pulmonary valves.

Our doctors performed one of the first transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a minimally invasive treatment for aortic valve disease. Today, we are proud to feature the most experienced program in the country. We are seeing patients and performing TAVRS at our hospitals in the Upper East Side, Washington Heights, Queens, and Brooklyn. Contact us for more information.

Our Approach to Care

Personalized Heart Valve Treatment with a Record of Success

Damaged heart valves can become leaky (called “regurgitation”) and force the heart to work harder, which 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 — many developed by our own physician-scientists—with a low rate of complications and excellent outcomes.
