Research and Innovation
Our unique approach to the management of complex pulmonary artery anomalies is founded on clinical innovations such as:
- Novel approaches to surgical management of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with pulmonary atresia and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs), Williams syndrome, Alagille syndrome and related conditions
- Development and advancement of methods to image the pulmonary arteries
Complementing the cutting-edge care we provide for patients with complex pulmonary artery disease, investigators in the Betty Irene Moore Children’s Heart Center are performing ground-breaking research on various aspects of these conditions, including:
- Surgical management and outcomes
- Medical management and outcomes
- Associated respiratory, airway and feeding problems
- Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement
- Catheter interventions on the pulmonary arteries
Research publications in these areas by Pulmonary Artery Reconstruction Program team members can be viewed by searching PubMed.
In the press
A study describing our 15-year experience with treatment of tetralogy of Fallot with MAPCAs at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford was recently published.
