Research Activities
I’m actively involved in a multicenter, cardiac enrollment registry examining cardiac complications stemming from Kawasaki disease. I’m also involved in a trial involving atrioventricular valve regurgitation in fetuses with common atrioventricular canals, and another trial looking at single ventricle reconstruction. I participate in another trial through the Pediatric Heart Network, which looks at several aspects in children who have staged palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome. My research interests generally center on the structure, development and treatment of patients with valve irregularities.
