NYU Langone Health named Ralph Mosca, MD, the new chair of the department of cardiothoracic surgery, the system said Jan. 4.
Dr. Mosca currently serves as the system's chief of the division of pediatric and adult congenital cardiac surgery, and is also the director of the Congenital Heart Center. Dr. Mosca has performed more than 6,000 open-heart surgeries and helped define the modern-day surgical standards of care for hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
"Dr. Mosca is a remarkable surgeon, who works with patients and families at one of the most challenging moments in their lives," said Robert Grossman, MD, dean and CEO of NYU Langone. "Under his leadership, the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery will continue to provide specialized, world-class care for the most complex conditions."
