Michael Ma

Associate Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery (Pediatric Cardiac Surgery)
Clinical Focus
Neonatal Cardiac Surgery, Pediatric Cardiac Surgery, Thoracic and Cardiac Surgery
Research Interests
Our lab aims to understand the biomechanics that govern a wide spectrum of congenital heart defects, and how those biomechanics change with contemporary operative repair strategies. We simulate operations virtually via CFD, and in ex vivo and in vivo animal models, and analyze how the changes we make alter fluid flow, pressure, and stresses throughout the system. We hope that these experiments can impact and optimize existing techniques that translate quickly to the operating room.
