Cardiothoracic Surgery

Healing the Hearts of Our Smallest Patients

Pediatric surgery requires a dedicated team in the OR and ICU. Our three pediatric surgeons are specifically trained for the unique demands of the field, and our pediatric anesthesiologists are trained in intraoperative transesphogeal echocardiography.

More than 80 percent of our pediatric procedures are performed with minimally invasive or minimal access techniques. These include:

Atrial and ventricular septal defects repair
AV canal reconstructions
Coarctation aorta
Complex reconstructive surgeries for neonates, infants and children
Complex re-operative surgeries
Homograft valves
Management of rare congenital or structural cardiac problems in adults
Outflow tract reconstructions
PDA obliteration in premature infants
Pulmonary artery repairs
Ross procedure
Single ventricular repairs
Tetralogy flow (TOF Repair)

Easy Access for Physicians
Most referring physicians will call a surgeon directly, but the 1-888-CVT-SURG line is available for those physicians who want to reach the division of cardiothoracic surgery, a specific doctor or need information. Answered by a trained cardiac secretary, this service will refer a physician's patient for a specific procedure or to a specific surgeon.
