Cardiothoracic Surgery Research in Pursuit of Better Treatment

Many cardiothoracic laboratory and clinical research projects are performed in collaboration with Fletcher Allen Cardiology. Dr. Schmoker  and his laboratory staff are investigating a model for thoracic aortic trauma, cerebral perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass and factors affecting the longevity of both venous and arterial grafts, a model that increases patient outcomes long-term.

The cardiothoracic surgery department is a founding member of the Northern New England Cardiovascular Research Group. Fletcher Allen has participated in a myriad of clinical projects that have led to a progressive decrease in cardiac surgical morbidity and mortality. The Northern New England group now has one of the largest databases for cardiothoracic surgery in the United States.
