Achievements and Impact
Dr. Ge performs over 400 major cardiovascular surgeries annually, pioneering several new procedures in Anhui Province. He specializes in coronary artery bypass, post-myocardial infarction surgeries, aortic dissection, heart valve surgeries, congenital heart defect corrections, and thoracic aortic aneurysm surgeries. He has extensive experience in off-pump bypass, thoracoscopic-assisted surgeries, minimally invasive heart surgeries, and aortic dissection treatments. He has supported multiple hospitals in developing cardiac surgery capabilities.
Dr. Ge has led five major projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation and other provincial foundations. He has published over 50 papers in SCI and core journals in China. He has supervised over 30 master's students and six Ph.D. students, receiving several provincial awards for scientific progress.
