معرفی
Rita Milewski is an Associate Professor of Surgery (Cardiac) at Yale School of Medicine. She specializes in cardiac surgery with a focus on aortic valve disease, surgical outcomes research, and healthcare disparities. Dr. Milewski’s research examines the relationship between aortic stenosis severity and cardiac dysfunction, as well as interventions to reduce surgical infections. She has collaborated extensively with researchers like Prashanth Vallabhajosyula and Roland Assi on studies linking socioeconomic factors to healthcare access and surgical outcomes. Her work has been published in journals such as Scientific Reports, Journal of Cardiac Surgery, and Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology.
Her research spans topics including bicuspid aortic valve therapy, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation complications, and lung transplant virome analysis. Dr. Milewski holds board certifications in Thoracic & Cardiac Surgery and General Surgery. She is actively involved in translational research aimed at improving surgical techniques and patient outcomes through interdisciplinary collaboration.
Key contributions include studies on Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage reduction in cardiac patients and the impact of neighborhood disadvantage on aortic stenosis treatment access. While no specific awards are listed, her publication record reflects a strong commitment to advancing cardiovascular care through both clinical and basic science research.
