For patients who have had a long-time relationship with their pediatric cardiologist at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, which is affiliated with University of Michigan Health, it is possible to continue your care with your physician. However, some patients no longer want to receive care at a children’s hospital and are ready to forge a new relationship with one of our experienced adult congenital heart disease specialists at the Adult Congenital Program. The choice is yours to make, and either way, you will receive expert congenital heart care from a skilled team of physicians and nurses. 

The American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association recommend that surgeons with congenital expertise perform specific surgeries to optimize adult congenital patient outcomes, and to reduce risk and complications. General cardiothoracic surgeons generally do not see many of the heart anatomies and prior surgical repairs found in adult congenital patients, which is why our team includes experienced cardiothoracic congenital surgeons who specialize in these conditions. Together with our congenital heart cardiologists, they provide additional consultation regarding surgical options when needed and their respective risks and benefits.

We collaborate with other specialties to ensure your care is comprehensive, including:

• High-Risk Obstetrics
• Pulmonary Hypertension
• Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
• Heart Failure
• Heart Transplant
• Aortic Disease
• Aortic Valve Replacement
• Genetic Consultation
