Dr. Yigit Guner earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science at the Chicago Medical School. He completed his internship and residency in general surgery at UC Davis Medical Center, where he served as chief resident. Dr. Guner’s training continued with a fellowship in pediatric surgery at the University of Texas, Houston. In addition, he finished a post-doctoral research fellowship at the USC-CHLA Department of Pediatric Surgery. Dr. Guner continues to publish articles in peer-reviewed journals, presents lectures at nationally recognized conferences, has collaborated on book chapters, and is a member of several professional associations and hospital leadership committees. He also serves as an assistant professor of surgery at UC Irvine.

Dr. Amir Ashrafi is an expert in neonatology and neonatal-cardiac physiology. His primary focus is treating newborns with congenital heart disease. He holds the national distinction of being one of the few physicians to receive formal training in both neonatal intensive care and cardiac intensive care. Dr. Ashrafi is the co-founder of the conference NeoHeart: Cardiovascular Management of the Neonate which is an international collaboration dedicated to advancing the care of newborns with complex heart disease. He attended medical school at the University of Utah and completed pediatric residency training at Emory University in Atlanta. He spent time in the Emergency Dept at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles prior to completing his neonatal intensive care fellowship at UCLA, where he was recognized as the chief fellow. Dr. Ashrafi then completed a second fellowship in cardiac intensive care in Boston Children’s Hospital at Harvard University. His research focus includes Neonatal-cardiac physiology, non-invasive tissue perfusion monitoring, neurodevelopment outcomes in infants with congenital heart disease, and targeted neonatal echocardiography.

By the end of this podcast, listeners should be able to discuss:

1. The clinically relevant anatomic and physiologic consequences of CDH.
2. The relevant prenatal evaluation and interventions for unborn babies with CDH.
3. The core aspects of neonatal resuscitation and cardiopulmonary support for neonates with CDH.
4. The role of ECMO in neonates with CDH.
5. The timing, general approach and relevant complications of CDH surgical repair.
6. The expected long-term outcomes of neonates with CDH.
