About us
Stanford's Division of Adult Cardiac Surgery in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery has a long and distinguished legacy of ground-breaking research and enjoys an international reputation for excellence in all aspects of surgical treatment of heart disease. Stanford University Hospital was one of the first facilities on the West Coast to perform open-heart surgery in the 1950s, and the center later completed the first adult heart transplant under the direction of Dr. Norman Shumway, in January 1968. Today, Stanford surgeons carry out advanced procedures and pioneer new ones, with an emphasis on minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. This legacy now comprises a record of more than 30,000 cardiac procedures and confers upon our cardiac surgeons an international reputation for leadership and excellence in the surgical treatment of heart and thoracic aortic disease.
