The Barnabas Health Aortic Center is the result of a  focused effort by Barnabas Health to offer state-of-the-art care to  patients with complex aortic disease.  BHCAD is one of the largest aortic programs in the  region.  
Barnabas Health has assembled a world-class group of clinicians dedicated to the diagnosis and management of complex aortic conditions including: 
  • Aortic Valve Disease - including Aortic Stenosis, Aortic Insufficiency, and Bicuspid Aortic Valves
  • Aortic Aneurysms including: 
-  Aortic Root Aneurysms    
-  Ascending Aortic Aneurysms  
-  Aortic Arch Aneurysms  
-  Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms  
-  Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms  
-  Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms 

  • Aortic Dissections - including Type A Dissections and Type B Dissections
  • Native Aortic and Prosthetic Graft Infections, including Endocarditis
  • Congenital Aortic Disease, such as Marfan's syndrome and Loeys Dietz

To achieve the best outcomes, our clinicians use leading-edge technologies, including:
  • Endovascular and hybrid approaches
  • Percutaneous and transcatheter valve therapies
  • Minimally invasive aortic surgery 
  • Stentless valves
  • Biologic composite grafts
  • Valve repair and valve-sparing aortic roots (aka the David procedure)
