More about Dr. Gilbert Tang, MD
Dr. Gilbert Tang is currently the Surgical Director of the Structural Heart Program at the Mount Sinai Health System. He has performed over 1000 cases of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and transcatheter mitral valve repair (MitraClip) procedures with excellent outcomes, on par with some of the top programs in the country. Dr. Tang has achieved many “first” successes in the region and United States, including transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve replacement and tricuspid valve repair with MitraClip, all performed via the groin without open surgery. Prior to Mount Sinai, Dr. Tang was the Director of the Valve Disease Center at Westchester Medical Center, playing a pivotal role in the launch of their Transcatheter Heart Program. His “concierge” model of care has been well received and recognized in the New York area.
As a regularly invited faculty and guest lecturer at national and international conferences, Dr. Tang is leading a number of cutting-edge research projects in TAVR and transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve therapies. He pioneered a technique to help better orient a transcatheter heart valve during TAVR to make it easier to reaccess the coronary arteries. His research and clinical results have been published in many top peer-reviewed medical journals and presented at many international conferences. He has trained many physicians and heart teams to perform transcatheter valve procedures around the world. He is currently involved in several multicenter studies with leading institutions in the US and globally.
Dr. Tang received his bachelor's degree at Harvard University and MD at the University of Toronto, where he completed his residency in cardiac surgery as the Chief Resident at the Toronto General Hospital.
