In total this group performs approximately 4050 cardiac operations annually comprising adult acquired, adult congenital, and pediatric cases. In addition, a wide range of basic and clinical research groups are actively studying such areas as causes of pulmonary hypertension, fetal surgery, myocardial protection, cardiac transplantation and surgery for acquired aortic valve disease. Both streams qualify successful candidates to sit the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada fellowship examinations for cardiac surgery.
Clinical fellowships are also available at each hospital for recently qualified cardiac surgeons.
The cardiac program is the largest in Canada, offering exposure in all of the subspecialty areas. All contents copyright 1999. All rights reserved.
