Christopher S. Muratore, MD, is Chief of Pediatric Surgery at Boston Medical Center, Boston, MA. Dr. Muratore is an academic pediatric surgeon who specializes in the full spectrum of pediatric general, thoracic, trauma and critical care surgery. He focuses on fetal surgery, congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and extracorporeal life support—in particular, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). He comes to BU/BMC from Stony Brook Children’s Hospital in NY where he served as the Knapp-Swezey professor, chief of pediatric surgery and surgeon-in-chief of Stony Brook Children’s Hospital and Hasbro Children’s Hospital in RI where he was the program director of the pediatric surgery fellowship at The Alpert Medical School of Brown University. While at Hasbro, he developed a successful interdisciplinary ECMO program for pediatric and adult patients, serving as medical/surgical director. The program is considered among the best in the nation for the management of critically ill individuals who require this lifesaving technology. Additionally, as one of a small number of pediatric surgeons trained and experienced in the highly complex field of fetal surgery, Dr. Muratore played a key role in the establishment and ongoing success of comprehensive interdisciplinary fetal treatment programs at Hasbro and, later, at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital. Dr. Muratore also spearheaded and served as co-director of an interdisciplinary vascular anomalies clinic at Hasbro, which provides high-level specialty care previously available only in very large pediatric centers. As chief of pediatric surgery at BMC he aims to optimize care and provide comprehensive leadership and expertise to promote quality and assure equity for children’s surgical services.
