Edward Chen MD
Overview
Dr. Chen's position as a valued educator, clinician, author, and presenter is informed by his experience as a national and international leader in aortic surgery who is able to perform highly complex cardiac operations. He is also widely acknowledged for his innovative work in circulation management and cerebral protection in aortic arch surgery, as well as his command of thoracic aortic procedures, surgical treatment of valvular heart disease, and reoperative cardiac surgery.
Since joining Emory Surgery in 2004, many of the cardiothoracic surgery residents Dr. Chen has mentored have adopted his surgical techniques in aortic surgery and valvular heart disease and introduced them into their own practices. He has also supervised numerous residents during their clinical research projects. Additionally, he has proctored various current and former Emory cardiothoracic surgery faculty members in minimally invasive valve procedures, and mentored junior faculty on complex aortic procedures.
Academic Appointment
- Professor of Surgery, Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Emory University School of Medicine
- Associate Program Director, Thoracic Surgery Residency, Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Emory University School of Medicine
- Site Director for Resident Education, Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital, Department of Surgery, Emory University School of Medicine
Education
Degrees
- BS from Stanford University, Stanford
- MD from Duke University, Durham
Research
Focus
- I am interested in the clinical outcomes regarding circulation management for aortic arch surgery, particularly the use of antegrade cerebral protection in the setting of moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest. In addition, I am interested in our outcomes with performing valve sparing aortic root replacement, particularly in high risk clinical scenarios such as type A dissection and severe AI.
