Pediatric cardiac surgeon Steven Bibevski, M.D./Ph.D., has joined Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Pediatric Cardiac Center in Hollywood, where he will play a key role in the Congenital Heart program with his expertise in complex congenital heart defect repair. His specific clinical interests are in single ventricle physiology, transposition of the great vessels and atrio-ventricular canal defects.A native of Melbourne, Australia, Dr. Bibevski completed fellowships in both adult and pediatric cardiac surgery at the University of Michigan. This afforded him extensive experience in the treatment of all complex forms of congenital heart disease with an emphasis on hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Dr. Bibevski also completed a visiting fellowship at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, the home of the largest pediatric heart center in the southern hemisphere.
Dr. Bibevski also has a strong research history. He earned a PhD in cardiovascular physiology from Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, Ohio, where he studied autonomic neural control of the cardiovascular system in heart failure. He currently is the lead investigator in an international, multi-center clinical study looking at modulation of the autonomic nervous system in infants and children with congenital disease. The goal is to improve long-term outcomes.
