I perform a wide range of open cardiac and thoracic surgical procedures as well as many minimally invasive procedures. I am currently interested in developing minimally invasive program initiatives for hybrid revascularization and atrial fibrillation. My main focus continues to be in robotic cardiac and thoracic surgery.
