Clinical Specialties

Dr. DeVito’s clinical interests center on the treatment of complex thoracic aortic disease, including thoracic aortic aneurysms, acute aortic dissection, aortic valve and root pathology, and complex reoperative aortic surgery. He has a specific interest in the care of young adults with aortic valve disease, with an emphasis on valve-preserving strategies, including aortic valve repair, valve-sparing aortic root replacement, and the Ross procedure in select patients. His practice also includes total arch replacement, frozen elephant trunk techniques, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), thoracoabdominal aortic replacement, redo aortic operations, and surgery for patients with connective tissue disorders, as well as hybrid and transcatheter cardiac procedures including TAVR and alternate-access TAVR. His unique postgraduate cardiovascular surgical training has a unique depth of experience spanning the full spectrum of open, endovascular, and hybrid approaches.
