Cardiovascular Surgery
Our program emphasizes neonatal correction of most defects and produces outstanding results with primary infant repairs of problems including transposition of the great arteries, tetraology of Fallot, pulmonary atresia, interrupted aortic arch, AV canal, aortic stenosis, aortic coarctation, TAPVR, and many others.
Working with critical care medicine, we have been very successful with palliation (Norwood procedure) for hypoplastic left heart syndrome, as well as a variety of other single ventricle disorders. Our program is also one of the nation's leaders in the use of the Ross procedure for treatment of aortic valve disease.
Treatments
We offer treatment and expertise in the areas of heart transplantation and cardiac assist devices, as well as providing services for adults with congenital heart disease.
Commonly Performed Procedures
We employ minimally invasive approaches, if possible. Our procedures include:
- Neonatal repairs
- Arterial switch procedure
- Norwood procedure
