Biography
Michael Ma currently serves as the Chief of the Division of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery in the Stanford Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery and the Betty Irene Moore Children’s Heart Center at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford. His practice encompasses all aspects of congenital heart disease, with a focus on neonates, complex biventricular repair, pulmonary artery reconstruction, and heart failure. He also serves as the Surgical Director of the Pediatric Advanced Cardiac Therapies (PACT) Program (a combined heart failure and heart transplant program), the Biventricular Reconstruction Program, and as a cardiothoracic surgeon for the Pulmonary Artery Reconstruction (PAR) Program at Stanford Children’s. He directs the Cardiovascular Engineering Research Laboratory, which applies biomechanical engineering principles to optimize existing surgical approaches and develop new surgical and endovascular therapies for treating complex heart defects.
