Overview

As one of the nation's best pediatric cardiology and heart surgery programs for newborns and children with congenital and acquired heart disease, the Duke Pediatric and Congenital Heart Center strives every day to improve our patients' outcomes and the quality of their lives. With that as our goal, we:

  • Achieve some of the highest patient survival rates in the U.S.
  • Perform more than 350 heart operations every year on very sick patients who require the most advanced, complex care
  • Were the first to successfully perform a new approach to heart transplants that may double the number of hearts available
  • Pioneered new surgical techniques that lower risk and ensure heart surgery is better tolerated by the tiniest babies
