Weill Cornell Medicine/NewYork-Presbyterian is a leader in the most advanced, minimally invasive approaches for heart valve repair and replacement. Our world-renowned experts can treat all four heart valves (aortic, mitral, pulmonic and tricuspid) through a percutaneous approach which means an incision smaller than an inch and most patients are able to go home just one day after their valve procedure.
Innovative, Non-Surgical, Minimally Invasive Options
Our multidisciplinary team of world experts in cardiac surgery, Cardiology and Cardiac Imaging plays a leading role in clinical trials. This ensures we can offer innovative treatments, like:
TAVR (Transcathether Aortic Valve Replacement) for the aortic valve
TMVR (Transcathether Mitral Valve Repair or Replacement) for the mitral valve
Pulmonic and Tricuspid Valve Procedures
These approaches have achieved superior outcomes for many patients who are too high-risk for conventional open-heart surgery.
