Dr. Niv Ad

Hello! My name is Dr. Niv Ad and I am a cardiac surgeon having graduated from Sackler School Of Medicine, Tel Aviv University in 1991. To date, I have performed approximately 1500+ cardiac surgeries, of which 500+ were Maze Procedures, and 500+ involved heart valve procedures. I regularly perform surgery at hospitals including Inova Fairfax Hospital.

My cardiac specialties include:

• Valve surgery in conjunction with treatment for atrial fibrillation
• Mitral valve repair
• Minimally invasive approaches

Relative to heart valve therapy, I have the following clinical interests:

• Surgical Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
• The molecular and cellular mechanisms of atrial fibrillation and valvular heart disease
• Surgical outcomes and comparative research of the different surgical techniques and perioperative care

"I believe my greatest strength as a heart surgeon is the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation and heart valve disease."

I graduated from Sackler School Of Medicine, Tel Aviv University in 1991.

"Dr. Niv Ad was first rate. His minimally invasive procedure for performing the Maze procedure worked perfectly, and I'm completely free of Atrial Fibrilation. Dr. Ad conducts continuing research into the post-op health of all of his the patients for several years after surgery, which shows his intent in perfecting the science of surgery, and ensuring the procedures return long-term positive results. Bedside manner, professionalism, patient follow-up, and attention to detail were all top shelf."

I have relationships with several insurance providers including:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield
• Medicare
• United Health Care
