Areas of expertise include resection of thoracic aneurysms, heart transplants, valvular heart repair, reconstruction and replacement, pulmonary and esophageal surgeries, cardiac reparative procedures, cardiac tumors, coronary artery revascularization using arterial grafts and transthoracic hiatal hernia repair.
