Cardiothoracic Surgery
The Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery encompasses both clinical and academic
programs at each of the affiliated hospitals. General Surgery residents participate
in pulmonary, esophageal, mediastinal, chest wall and diaphragmatic surgery
and treat both pediatric and adult patients with cardiovascular disorders. Special
areas of expertise in open heart surgery include minimally invasive and off
pump coronary artery bypass surgery, and aortic root replacement. Thymic tumors,
tracheal reconstruction and video assisted thoracic surgical procedures represent
areas of general thoracic surgery experience.
