Cardiothoracic Surgery Service

The Cardiothoracic Surgery Service at Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH) offers a wide array of surgical care for children with congenital heart disease, heart failure, respiratory failure, chest wall defects and lung disease. The experienced team of surgeons, nurses, perfusionists and anesthesiologists are able to provide surgical services for the most complex cardiac and pulmonary diseases. Specific services include surgery for the single ventricle, transposition of the great arteries, diseased valves, pectus defects and pediatric cardiac transplantation. Surgical services are also provided for ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation), including mobile ECMO. The surgical procedures are performed in the Heart Center operating room, with postoperative care rendered in the Heart Center as well. The surgical team works closely with ACH cardiologists and pulmonologists to render these specialized services.

Note: This clinic is available to your child by physician referral. Talk with your child’s physician and tell him/her you would like to be referred to ACH. Have the doctor contact the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Physician Referral Services Department to make a referral. If your child does not have a regular physician, please call 501-364-5901 and we will be happy to recommend one in your area.
