Stony Brook (N.Y.) University Medical Center has opened a new Valve Center within its Heart Center to treat valvular heart disease, according to a hospital news release.
The new center offers a range of diagnostic and treatment services, including a variety of echocardiograms and medical and surgical therapy. A collaboration with New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center in New York City also allows the Valve Center to screen and refer patients for less invasive percutaneous therapeutic treatment options.
