Our pediatric heart surgery outcomes
Despite treating some of the most complex pediatric heart conditions in the world, the Cardiac Surgery Program at Children's has some of the best success rates.
Because hospitals present data differently and because of the uniqueness of each child's situation, it is important that statistics and outcomes are fully explained. We are happy to speak with you regarding our outcomes.
