Director's Description

The Stephen C. Grout Adult Congenital Heart Disease Center at Phoenix Children's provides comprehensive and continuous care to teen and adult patients living with congenital heart disease. Based out of one of the largest children's hospitals in the United States, we are the only ACHA Accredited Comprehensive Care Center in Arizona. Our services include cardiac imaging (including CT and MRI), pacemaker and electrophysiology services, pulmonary hypertension treatment, cardiac catheterization, and congenital heart surgery. Our interventional cardiology team is at the forefront of catheter based valve replacements. We also work closely with the Maternal-Fetal Medicine teams at neighboring institutions to provide comprehensive pregancy care to women with congenital and acquired cardiac diseases. Our ACHD team frequently hosts rotating students, residents, and cardiology fellows.
