New York City, NY (PRWEB) October 02, 2013 -- HeartValveSurgery.com, the largest educational resource and community of patients with heart valve disease, announced today that the Columbia Heart Valve Center, which is part of NewYork-Presbyterian / Columbia University Medical Center, has become its newest sponsor.
“With 35 dedicated clinicians and administrators, the Columbia Heart Valve Center has developed a unique model for treating patients with valvular disorders,” stated Adam Pick, founder of HeartValveSurgery.com. “We are honored to work with leading physicians including Dr. Martin Leon, Dr. Craig Smith, Dr. Mathew Williams and Dr. Susheel Kodali.”
In addition to traditional surgical approaches, the Columbia Heart Valve Center provides patients minimally invasive alternatives and catheter-based solutions including transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The Columbia Heart Valve Center has performed over 900 TAVR procedures, more than any other clinic in the United States.
“HeartValveSurgery.com supports our patients with educational resources and patient-to-patient interactions at each step of the treatment cycle,” stated Dr. Mathew Williams, Co-Director of the Columbia Heart Valve Center. “Our team is very excited to launch this partnership.”
