Our Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgery program is a world leader in the field with over three decades of experience. We perform complex surgeries including repair of congenital defects, Norwood procedures, arterial switch and Ross procedures. Our surgeons perform many operations using minimally invasive techniques that reduce hospital stays, speed recovery time and decrease scarring.

Our care and innovative approaches build on the latest research in the field. Many of our treatments were developed by internationally recognized leaders at UCSF. Our surgeons are also outstanding teachers, training the doctors of tomorrow and conducting international outreach activities to enhance pediatric cardiothoracic care.
