I am currently Head of the Heart Area and Head of the Pediatric Heart Surgery Department at the SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital. I am a world representative in Pediatric and Neonatal Heart Surgery and have performed more than 450 anatomical corrections in newborn babies, doing transpositions of great arteries, with a mortality rate under 3%. The Department I run has a survival rate of 98% in cardiac surgery patients. From 2006 to 2010, I was the Head of the Pediatric Heart Surgery Section at Hospital La Fe, in Valencia.
