Biography

Dr. Hiesinger is a board-certified, fellowship-trained specialist in adult cardiac surgery. He is also an assistant professor in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.

Dr. Hiesinger’s clinical focus encompasses the full spectrum of cardiothoracic conditions and treatment approaches, such as heart transplantation, mitral and aortic valve repair, surgical treatment for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, coronary artery bypass, and complex thoracic aortic procedures. He serves as Surgical Director of the Stanford Mechanical Circulatory Support Program, where he leads and directs the surgical implantation of ventricular assist devices (VADs) in patients with end-stage heart failure.

The National Institutes of Health and the Thoracic Surgery Foundation have awarded funds to support Dr. Hiesinger’s research. In the Stanford Cardiothoracic Therapeutics and Surgery Laboratory, Dr. Hiesinger's research spans the disciplines of computer science and cardiovascular biology, and he endeavors to build novel foundational deep learning systems designed to better represent and process high-dimensional inputs and apply these systems towards clinical problems. Additionally, his lab investigates bioengineered devices, tissue engineering, and angiogenic cytokine therapy for the treatment of heart failure.

He has published extensively and his work has appeared in Nature Communications, Nature Machine Intelligence, the Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, Circulation Heart Failure, the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Journal of Vascular Surgery, and elsewhere.

He teaches courses on cardiothoracic surgery skills. He also advises surgeons of the future.

Dr. Hiesinger has won awards for his research and scholarship, including the Surgical Resident of the Year Award, Jonathan E. Rhoads Research Award, Clyde F. Baker Research Prize, and I.S. Ravdin Prize, all from his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania. He was a finalist for the Vivien Thomas Young Investigator Award from the American Heart Association.

Dr. Hiesinger is a member of the American Association For Thoracic Surgery and serves on the Cardiac Surgery Biology Club. He is also a member of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons and serves on the Workforce on Surgical Treatment of End-Stage Cardiopulmonary Disease national committee as well as the American Heart Association Council for Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery.

Dec 2023

Verified SHC Patient

Dr. Hiesinger was very pleasant, easy to converse with, and informed about my case. He was very reassuring and positive. I chose to switch my cardiac care to Stanford instead of seek care in my local area because I was impressed by Dr. Hiesingerâ€™s video appointment, interactions, his knowledge, and training. I felt good about him as a medical provider.

Sep 2021

•

Verified SHC Patient

I thought appt was great. Thankful for time spent to help me & my daughter better understanding of a medical condition I never realized I had. Appreciate your consideration & understanding for our concerns with having to travel long distances to do required testing. We're relieved you realize the practicality of having required testing done in our local area, submitting information to Stanford, then scheduling follow up for additional evaluation & further discussion for any future procedures. You don't know how much I truly appreciate that, but it carries a lot with me. Never spent much time in my whole life being sick or unwell & have little patience with it even during the times I was sick. Since I now have this problem showing itself, it's going to be important to do what needs to be done so I can stay as strong & healthy as long as possible. If I understand better, I can be better.
