Our Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery Program
Nationally ranked for heart care and surgery by U.S. News & World Report, our Heart
Institute is one of just eight stand-alone pediatric heart research centers in the country.
Our scale and experience is evident in our performance: Our surgical outcomes
consistently outperform national benchmarks, and our focus on innovation leads
to less invasive procedures. Our cardiac units provide state-of-the-art recovery and
monitoring for acutely ill and post-surgery cardiac patients. Staffed by a group of highly
specialized physicians and dedicated nurses, our CICU works closely with our surgery
and anesthesiology teams, among others, to nurse these fragile patients back to the best
possible health.
We meet or exceed the national average in:
• Neonatal mortality across all STAT categories
• Surgical outcomes across all age groups and operation types
• Pediatric heart transplant survival rate
• Extremely low levels of radiation exposure in our Cardiac Catheterization laboratory
