Jonathan Christian Cash

Jonathan Christian Cash, MD, serves as Assistant Professor of Clinical Surgery at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. He practices at Keck Hospital of USC and USC Norris Cancer Hospital, specializing in adult cardiac and thoracic surgery with emphasis on minimally invasive and robotic techniques for valve disease, aneurysm repair, heart failure, and lung resections.

Dr. Cash earned his medical degree from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences followed by General Surgery residency, cardiothoracic surgery training, and research fellowship at Keck School of Medicine of USC. He maintains certification from the American Board of Thoracic Surgery.

His research and clinical focus spans cardiothoracic innovation including endovascular aortic repair, ventricular assist devices for cardiogenic shock, and robotic lobectomies. Key specialties encompass transapical valve procedures, thoracoabdominal aneurysm management, and minimally invasive approaches to complex cardiac pathologies. His work prioritizes reduced scarring and accelerated recovery through technological integration.

Dr. Cash's 2022 publication demonstrates expertise in physician-modified endograft techniques for complex aortic dissections, reflecting his commitment to advancing endovascular solutions for high-risk anatomical challenges. His scholarly activity centers on improving outcomes in aortic and coronary interventions through device innovation.

As an active clinician-educator, he contributes to surgical training at Keck Medicine while maintaining hospital privileges at USC's flagship medical centers. His practice integrates cutting-edge robotic platforms with traditional surgical excellence across cardiac, aortic, and thoracic domains.
