Stavros G. Memtsoudis, MD, PhD
Dr. Stavros G. Memtsoudis graduated from the Georg-August-University of Goettingen, Germany, in 1999, where in addition to his medical studies, he received a doctoral degree for research in the field of radioimmunology. He completed his residency in anesthesiology at Weill Medical College of Cornell University, where he was chief-resident. Board-certified in both anesthesiology and critical care medicine, he joined our staff after completing subspecialty training in critical care medicine and cardiac and thoracic anesthesiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, in Boston. His expertise lies in the perioperative care of patients with advanced cardiovascular and pulmonary disease. Scientifically, Dr. Memtsoudis has an interest in the fields of cardiopulmonary physiology and national database outcomes research and has published in both fields. Trained in perioperative transesophageal echocardiography, he is interested in the application of this technology outside the cardiac operating room.
