We specialize in pediatric heart surgery and care, including procedures ranging from outpatient evaluation and therapies to complex bypass and organ transplant procedures, critical care and rehabilitation. Services include:

  • Open surgery for heart and related conditions
  • Hybrid procedures, using a combination of heart catheterization and heart surgery
  • Ventricular assist device (VAD) procedures, such as mechanical “heart pump” implantation and management.
  • Minimally invasive surgeries are less invasive surgical approaches requiring tiny incisions as surgeons operate with sophisticated, camera-assisted technologies and techniques.
  • Heart transplantation, including multispecialty evaluation, organ procurement and screening, counseling and support, and lifetime follow-up care.
