The William Acquavella Heart Valve Center

The William Acquavella Heart Valve Center at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine is committed to providing outstanding care for patients with all types of valve diseases and disorders. Our team specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valves, using the most advanced and minimally invasive techniques available.

Our center’s collaborative team includes general cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons and cardiac imagers who offer the most advanced treatment options, including emerging options. The experts on our team have played a leading role in clinical trials assessing the latest percutaneous valve replacement approaches. Our team is dedicated to developing and evaluating new, less invasive techniques for repairing and replacing damaged aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves, meaning patients receive a greater experience in these emerging techniques.
