Clinical Research
Research is an integral part of our mission in the Weill Cornell Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery. We strive to understand the pathophysiologic mechanisms of cardiovascular disease, develop and improve treatment methodologies, and improve the quality of the care that we offer. We have an active clinical and translational research center that focuses on the major cardiovascular disorders including coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, and aortic pathologies, such as aneurysms and other aortopathies.
Clinical Trials
Our department participates in numerous national trials sponsored by industry representatives. We participate in studies to evaluate a variety of novel cardiac implants, such as innovative heart valve implants, heart valve repair techniques, aortic grafts, ventricular assist devices, and end-organ preservation devices.
