Cardio-Obstetric Program
The Cardio-Obstetric program at UC Irvine combines the expertise of maternal fetal medicine specialists, cardiologists, anesthesiologists, neonatologists and nurses who are integral in providing comprehensive care to pregnant patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is the leading cause of maternal mortality in the United States. UC Irvine collaborates with institutions nationwide to conduct research aimed at improving outcomes via timely intervention.
Our faculty experts also provide evidence-based expert care for families with complicated pregnancies through the Fetal Care Center of Southern California, a partnership with Children’s Hospital of Orange County. The center provides comprehensive prenatal diagnosis, education and treatment plans for families who have received diagnoses of congenital anomalies and fetal disease. The team offers counseling, prenatal interventions, safe delivery planning, and evaluation and treatment options for neonates.
The center aspires to be designated as a comprehensive fetal care center and open a special delivery unit, allowing a small number of the highest-risk infants to be born at CHOC. Additionally, it plans to offer fetal interventions, including fetoscopy and open fetal surgery, in specially equipped procedure rooms.
