Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Brian Reemtsen's research focuses on pediatric congenital heart disease, with a particular emphasis on surgical interventions and outcomes. His work includes investigations into the use of the Berlin Heart EXCOR Pediatric Ventricular Assist Device as a bridge to heart transplantation in children. Reemtsen has also studied surgical therapies for Ebstein anomaly in neonates and the application of decellularized extracellular matrix in pediatric congenital heart surgery. Additional areas of his research include the force required to elevate the sternum in pectus excavatum patients, arrhythmia recurrence following surgical conversion in adult patients with single ventricle physiology, and the quantitative return of diaphragm function over time after hemidiaphragm plication in children. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 18, with 105 total publications and 1,438 total citations.
