AATS Congenital Valve Symposium | Introduction
Yves d’Udekem, Children's National Hospital
Born from Belgian parents in Canada and educated in Belgium, I had my surgical training in Belgium, South Africa, Canada and the UK. I had a staff position in Cliniques St-Luc, Belgium in 1996 and in 2003, I began working at The Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne, Australia. In 2020 I took my current position as Chief of Cardiac Surgery in the Children's National Hospital, Washington DC.
Over a large academic career, I developped key findings in the field of Single Ventricle outcomes, Tetralogy of Fallot, Pulmonary atresia, VSD and Mapcas, Aortic valve repair, aortic arch repair and VADs. My most important contribution has been the creation of the Australia and New Zealand Fontan Registry which lifted the veil on long-term expectations after the Fontan surgery and opened avenues ot improve these outcomes. I currently work on the optimization of the Fontan circuit and try to find solutions for the growing issue of AV valve failure in patients born with single ventricles.
In 2016 I was appointed Professor of the Department of Pediatrics at The University of Melbourne, Australia and in 2021, Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics of the Georges Washington University (tenured),
Emile Bacha, NewYork- Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center

Dr. Bacha is one of the early developers of the "hybrid stage I" procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome. He is also the principal developer of a widely accepted technical competency metric for pediatric heart surgeons. Dr. Bacha has published more than 250 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters.
