We sit down with Chris Burke, MD about his role in the Multidisciplinary Thoracic Aortic Program (MTAP) and specifically his expertise in the Ross Procedure. We also learn about how Fly Fishing offers him peace away from the operating room.
Christopher R. Burke, MD, is a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon, Associate Program Director of the Cardiothoracic Surgery Residency Program, Co-Director of the Multidisciplinary Thoracic Aortic Program, and an Assistant Professor of Cardiac Surgery who did a postgraduate aortic surgery fellowship under Dr. Joseph Bavaria, a world renowned expert in the surgical repair of the ascending aorta and aortic arch using open and “hybrid” approaches (where open surgery is combined with endovascular stenting at the same operation.) Dr. Burke brings a wealth of experience at new techniques for valve sparing root repair and open arch repair with and without concomitant stenting. He has a particular clinical interest in aortic valve preservation surgery (aortic valve repair).
