Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Brian Reemtsen, Professor in the Department of Surgery at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, focuses his research on pediatric cardiovascular conditions and surgical interventions. His work includes investigations into novel approaches for aberrant right subclavian artery repair and an overview of operative techniques for this condition. Reemtsen has also published on the efficacy and safety of specific prosthetic valves, such as the MITRIS RESILIA mitral valve, for young patients. His research interests extend to options for pediatric heart valve replacement, pulmonary valve replacement, and the management of coronary sinus ostial obstruction in single-ventricle congenital heart disease. Additionally, his recent publications explore developmental language trajectories in children with critical congenital heart defects and the practical considerations for partial heart transplantation. Reemtsen also examines cardiac function decline in pediatric cardiac transplant recipients following anesthesia and cardiac catheterization. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 18, with 105 total publications and 1,438 total citations. He has a significant publication history with key collaborators Lawrence Greiten, Thomas Heye, Markus S. Renno, and Monroe McKay, all from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
