Pediatric & Congenital Cardiac Surgery
Our cardiac surgeons routinely perform surgery on children with a wide array of cardiac malformations.
The pediatric cardiac surgery program at the Congenital Heart Center focuses on the surgical correction of acquired and congenital heart defects in newborns, children, and adults, including surgery for heart failure and implantation of mechanical circulatory support systems, and heart transplantation.
Working in collaboration with pediatric cardiologists, pediatric cardiac anesthesiologists, pediatric cardiac intensive care specialists, and a large group of nurses, nurse practitioners, respiratory therapists, pediatric cardiac perfusionists, and social workers, the surgical outcomes involving pediatric cardiac surgery procedures are among the best in the nation.
Our cardiac surgeons are experts in the latest surgical treatments for a wide array of congenital cardiac malformations.
