Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Lawrence Greiten's research focuses on pediatric cardiothoracic surgery, with recent publications addressing the management of post-operative chylothorax in patients with congenital heart disease, novel approaches for aberrant right subclavian artery repair, and the safety and efficacy of the MITRIS RESILIA mitral valve in young patients. He has also investigated left ventricular dysfunction following ventricular septal defect repair and cognitive biases in joint pediatric cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery conferences.

His work includes examining cardiac function decline after general anesthesia and cardiac catheterization in pediatric cardiac transplant recipients, as well as exploring developmental language trajectories in children with critical congenital heart disease. Greiten's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 4, with 44 total publications and 67 total citations. He collaborates extensively with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, notably Brian Reemtsen (25 shared publications), Thomas Heye (11 shared publications), Markus S. Renno (9 shared publications), and Monroe McKay (5 shared publications).

Research Interests

Throughout his training and early career, Dr. Greiten has demonstrated a dedicated and focused research path which enhances the quality of care he provides to his patients as a congenital pediatric cardiac surgeon. Furthermore, Dr. Greiten has quickly become an active and funded investigator at UAMS/Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Dr. Greiten’s clinical research interests include: clinical outcomes of palliative and definitive repairs of congenital cardiac malformations, neurodevelopmental outcomes after cardiac surgery, single ventricle pathophysiology, and cardiac transplantation. Dr. Greiten has also published several surgical education projects and has an interest in developing simulation platforms pertaining to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, minimally invasive cardiac and endovascular techniques. Throughout his early career, Dr. Greiten’s research has been supported with nearly one million dollars in funding. Lastly, during his surgical training Dr. Greiten successfully completed a Master’s in Biomedical Sciences, Clinical and Translational Science where he published several papers on thromboprophylaxis and became an internationally renowned expert shifting the paradigm of novel anticoagulation strategies. In his career, Dr. Greiten has been the primary or major contributor of multiple publications, several book chapters, as well as various abstracts and surgical videos. In the process Dr. Greiten has received numerous research awards at various national conferences and institutions.
