The Most Complex Cases Come to Us

As part of the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital system, we are able to help critically ill patients who have been turned away from other centers. From high-risk cardiac patients to complex procedures like multi-organ transplants, we’ve earned our reputation for helping the sickest people when no one else could.

ICYMI: Saving Two Babies’ Lives With One Pioneering Approach to Heart Valve Transplantation

In a first-of-its-kind “domino” transplant in infants, cardiac surgeons Dr. Andrew Goldstone and Dr. David Kalfa performed a heart transplant in one baby, and then transplanted valves from her old heart into another infant — saving two lives and paving the way to save more.
