Structural Heart Program in Brooklyn

Exceptional care for structural heart diseases

The Structural Heart Program at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital is comprised of doctors from Weill Cornell Medicine that bring exceptional care to the hearts of Brooklyn. We provide traditional surgical procedures and cutting-edge clinical trials for patients with severe aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, failing bioprosthetic valves (aortic & mitral), and several other structural heart defects.

Our award-winning specialists provide leading heart services with compassionate support. From innovative valve replacement procedures to ongoing structural heart care, our teams of experts are committed to your lifelong cardiac health.

Services we offer

ASD Closure (transcatheter): A special closure device is inserted into the heart via catheterization to treat an atrial septal defect (ASD).
Mitral Regurgitation: A catheter-based treatment for high-risk patients with significant symptomatic degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR).
Paravalvular leak (PVL) closure (mitral or aortic): Our valve specialists can repair paravalvular prosthetic regurgitation percutaneously in select high-risk patients.
PFO Closure: A special closure device is inserted into the heart via a catheterization procedure to seal a patent foramen ovale (PFO), a small opening between the heart’s upper chambers.
Traditional and minimally invasive catheter-based procedures for structural heart defects such as severe aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, failing bioprosthetic valves, and more.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR): A minimally invasive technique to treat aortic stenosis. A prosthetic valve is placed inside the patient’s heart valve, where it expands and functions immediately.
Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR): A highly specialized and minimally invasive technique that can be offered as an alternative for patients with failing bioprosthetic mitral valves.
