Statistics and Outcomes

PCCC Data for Cardiothoracic Surgery

Despite treating some of the most complex pediatric heart conditions in the world, the Cardiothoracic Surgery Program has some of the best success rates.

Because hospitals present data differently and because of the uniqueness of each child's situation, it is important that statistics and outcomes are fully explained. We are happy to speak with parents regarding Driscoll Children's Hospital's outcomes anytime.
