Personal Bio
|
Dr. Gerdisch is the Director of Cardiothoracic
Surgery at St. Francis Heart Center in Indianapolis,
Indiana and a Clinical Assistant
Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Loyola University
Medical Center. He received his medical degree from

During that time, he also studied mitral
valve repair at L’Hospital Broussai in Paris. In addition to participating in The
Society for Thoracic Surgeons, Dr. Gerdisch is active in the American College of Cardiology. Dr. Gerdisch has a special interest
in less invasive techniques for cardiac surgery. He has lectured nationally and
internationally on evolving technology and techniques for valve repair
and replacement, minimally invasive surgery for atrial
fibrillation, surgery on the beating heart, and the physiologic
properties of anastomoses in the coronary
circulation. In addition to the
full spectrum of cardiac operations, Dr. Gerdisch has extensive
experience in various thoracic procedures including video-assisted
minimally invasive surgery and vascular operations.
Dr. Gerdisch is involved in ongoing clinical trials
for the next generation of biologic heart valves, minimally invasive surgery
to correct atrial fibrillation, and new
surgical interventions for heart failure. His areas of special interest include
mitral valve repair, aortic root surgery,
surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation,
minimally invasive cardiac surgery, beating heart surgery, and
ventricular restoration.
