Putting your colorectal health in the hands of another is a big step. 

Columbia University’s Department of Surgery consists of physicians, researchers, and other health care professionals united in their mission to deliver the best surgical care possible. 

Why Choose Us

Minimally Invasive and Endovascular Emphasis

Our aortic surgeons have extensive experience with small incision and open heart approaches to surgery, and will evaluate everyone with aortic disease for minimally invasive and endovascular options. The Aortic Center is even trialling endovascular approaches for ascending and arch aneurysm repairs, where open heart surgery has typically been the only option.

Collaborative Follow-up Aortic Clinic

Surgery may only be a part of the story for anyone with aortic disease. In order to keep track of our outcomes, the Aortic Center has devised a collaborative follow-up clinic, which works across disciplines to evaluate how those we’ve treated fare in the long-term. Additionally, we provide recommendations for follow-up imaging at the appropriate time based on an individual’s risk and the latest research.

Round-The-Clock, Multidisciplinary Care

The team is available 24/7 to respond to emergencies like aortic dissections, as well as managing an extensive elective surgery program. For those with aortic disease, treatment is managed collaboratively with cardiac and vascular surgeons, as well as radiologists and geneticists to tailor care for every individual. For urgent care at any time, call us at (844) 792-6782.

Marfan Clinic

Columbia’s Marfan Clinic is one of the premier sites in the New York metropolitan area providing genetic testing, screening, and linkage to care for people with Marfan syndrome and other connective tissue disorders that raise the risk of aortic disease, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, Loeys-Dietz syndrome, Turner syndrome, and familial thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections. Patients and their families can meet with specialists who take a detailed family history, educate patients about genetic testing, coordinate testing if the patient chooses to have it, and provide counseling based on results. Genetic counseling is done in consultation with our geneticists, cardiologists and the patient’s primary physician, and we will make recommendations regarding monitoring and treatment.

Advanced Aortic Imaging

Accurate imaging is fundamental to establish a diagnosis of aortic disease and determine if and when a procedure is warranted. The Aortic Center features the latest technologies in cardiothoracic imaging, including: 

• Echocardiography: transthoracic and transesophageal
• CT angiogram: EKG-gated Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms
• CT coronary angiogram 
• MR angiogram: EKG-gated 
• Arterial vascular duplex scanning

The Columbia Aortic Center is home to a novel technologies that can visualize the aorta for patients who cannot be adequately imaged using conventional cardiothoracic imaging techniques. Our aortic radiologists review images together with our cardiologists and surgeons in order to help modify and personalize the care plan for each patient we see. After aortic surgery, the radiologist remains a key member of the care team by performing periodic follow-up imaging to assess the strength of the repair.

Data-Driven Care

Our Aortic Data Center, managed by our aortic data management team, provides real-time data on our own outcomes of endovascular and open surgical therapies as well as the status of our patients who are receiving follow-up care. Our Center shares this data with patients in order to customize the care plan.

Residents of Westchester and the Hudson Valley now have access to world-class quality treatment for colorectal conditions. At Columbia, we are a recognized leader in colorectal care, combining personalized treatment with the latest evidence-based advancements in medical and surgical technology.
