Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Lawrence Greiten is an Associate Professor in the Department of Surgery at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, focusing on Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgery. His research investigates outcomes and management strategies for complex pediatric cardiac conditions.

Dr. Greiten's work includes the development of consensus recommendations for managing post-operative chylothorax in pediatric congenital heart disease and exploring novel surgical approaches for vascular anomalies. He has also published on the effectiveness of specific prosthetic valves in young patients and the long-term cardiac function in pediatric transplant recipients following anesthesia and catheterization. His research extends to understanding developmental language trajectories in children with critical congenital heart disease and cognitive biases in high-stakes medical decision-making.

His scholarly contributions are reflected in a h-index of 4 and 44 total publications. Dr. Greiten collaborates extensively with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including 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.
