Dr. Kurlansky explains heart surgery's exceptional rating by Society of Thoracic Surgeons (Part 1)

The Cardiac Surgery Program at Columbia achieved a 3 out of 3-star rating in 3 of the 5 categories star-evaluated by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons. To put that perspective, less than 1.5% of programs in the U.S. have that distinction. Dr. Paul Kurlansky, Director of Research, Recruitment and Continuous Quality Improvement, breaks it all down.

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS), a professional organization of cardiothoracic surgeons, has announced the results of their 2018 data collection. In three categories for heart procedures, our heart surgery team was recognized for its unparalleled quality and outcomes with the highest ranking available to any center.

These categories include:
Aortic Valve Replacement
Combination Aortic Valve Replacement + Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
Mitral Valve Repair

Our cardiac surgeons were also recognized for their surgical skills in two other categories:
CABG
