Our heart specialists are recognized leaders in treating children with complex congenital heart problems. As our reputation continues to expand across the United States, more families are choosing the Herma Heart Institute to treat their child's heart condition. We consistently report some of the best surgical outcomes for even the most complex types of heart disease, based on reporting data from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
We continue to be among the highest volume congenital heart surgery programs in the nation, performing more than 300 open-heart surgeries and more than 550 total procedures per year. Research shows that top-ranked programs have higher volumes and tend to have higher success rates.
