I have 20 years of experience, and specialize in the field of cardiothoracic surgery with specific knowledge in the areas of coronary artery surgery, valvular heart surgery and aortic surgery. I have published on such topics as valve cases, coronary artery surgery and female pregnancy and cardiac surgery emergencies. I have a large experience in dealing with female pregnancy in emergency cardiac surgery. I also have a unique experience in dealing with one of the largest Hispanic indigent cardiac surgery populations in the United States.
