Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery
The Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is a world leader in reconstructive surgery of hearts with complex disorders and a pioneer in developing innovative surgical techniques, such as improvements in heart-lung bypass and minimally invasive cardiac surgery.
The division is an international referral resource for complex congenital heart disorders. Its staff includes three attending physicians, two fellows, and perfusionists, OR technicians and surgical nurses.
The division performs more than 1,000 congenital cardiac and thoracic operations per year, making it one of the largest and busiest programs in the world; its surgical outcomes are among the world's best.
Investigations in cardiothoracic surgery span a wide spectrum, from exploring how congenital heart disease develops to studying the long-term effects of surgery on physiologic and neurodevelopment in children. Improvement and refinement of surgical techniques is a constant goal. CHOP surgeons are leading contributors to the major literature of the discipline.
