The Section of Cardiothoracic Anesthesia provides subspecialty anesthetic care for patients undergoing complex cardiac and thoracic surgical procedures, including on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, valve repair and replacement, robotic and minimally invasive cardiac surgery, ventricular assist device implantation, and heart and lung transplantation. Our faculty are board-certified in perioperative transesophageal echocardiography and bring deep expertise in managing the complex hemodynamics of high-acuity cardiac and thoracic cases, including "redo" procedures and bloodless cardiac surgery for patients who cannot receive transfusions. The section offers an ACGME-accredited Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Fellowship, providing fellows with in-depth training in cardiothoracic anesthesia and a strong emphasis on intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography.
