Cardiovascular Thoracic Surgeons

At Lurie Children’s, patients needing surgery are in the most qualified hands with the Heart Center's renow​ned cardiovascular-thoracic surgery team. 

The surgical team collaborates closely with pediatric cardiologists in all our programs. Advanced care for infants, children and teens includes specialization in procedures such as:

• Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
• Fontan conversion and arrhythmia surgery for complex single-ventricle patients
• Reoperations for adolescents and adults with congenital heart disease
• Arrhythmia surgery in combination with surgery for a congenital heart defect
• Congenital complete tracheal rings/stenosis  and associated pulmonary artery sling malformation
• Coronary artery anomalies, including anomalies of coronary origin, and acquired diseases such as Kawasaki disease

Our cardiovascular-thoracic surgeons are faculty in the Division of Cardiac Surgery at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
