Duke University Medical Center is a 938-acute care bed academic tertiary care facility located in Durham, North Carolina. Since its establishment in 1930, the hospital has grown from a small regional hospital to a world-renowned academic medical center. Duke University Hospital is the flagship teaching hospital for the Duke University Health System, a network of physicians and hospitals serving Durham County and Wake County, North Carolina, and surrounding areas, as well as one of three Level I referral centers for the Research Triangle of North Carolina .History1924–1935: early yearsThe institution traces its roots back to 1924, six years before the opening of the hospital, when James Buchanan Duke established the Duke Endowment to transform Duke University (then known as Trinity College) into the research university it is today. In 1925, Duke bequeathed $4 million to establish the medical school, nursing school, and hospital. Two years later, in 1927, construction began on the original hospital (now known as Duke South), which opened on July 21, 1930, with 400 beds. In 1931, the hospital and medical school were officially dedicated on April 20 and the Private Diagnostic Clinic (Duke's in-house physician system) was organized on September 16. In 1935, less than five years after the hospital opened, the American Medical Association ranked Duke among the top 20 of medical schools in the country.

This division provides comprehensive care for patients with congenital heart defects in all age groups. For newborns, we emphasize neonatal correction of complex congenital heart defects, with results that rival those of the country's largest centers. The division sees outstanding results in surgery for single-ventricle anatomy, including hypoplastic leftheart syndrome and tricuspid atresia. Other areas of excellence include surgery for transposition of the great arteries, pulmonary atresia, truncus arteriosius, interrupted aortic arch, and total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. At the other end of the age spectrum, our surgeons provide exclusive surgical support for adults with congenital heart disease and work closely with members of the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Clinic. Our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible for primary repair of congenital heart defects. Examples include mini-incisions for less complex openheart operations and thoracoscopic approaches for non-openheart procedures. While cosmetic results are not the primary goal of heart surgery, surgical team members understand that leaving the smallest incision possible is an important consideration for children and their families. For our patients with severely impaired cardiac function, Duke boasts the Southeast's largest and most successful ECMO program, which is supported by Duke's nationally respected perfusion services and dedicated pediatric perfusionists. The division also has experience in cardiac transplantation for children, including experience with ventricular assist devices (VADs) to support children awaiting transplant. The division is also nationally recognized for its research contributions, with areas of interest that include modulation of the adverse effects of the heart-lung machine and genetic therapy for myocardial hypertrophy and heart failure. We are also committed to training the next generation of practitioners who will lead the advancement and development of our field. Treatments We offer treatment and expertise in the areas of heart transplantation and cardiac assist devices, as well as providing services for adults with congenital heart disease.
