John P. Cheatham

This researcher works in pediatric and interventional cardiology, focusing on catheter-based (non-surgical) treatments for congenital and acquired heart valve problems, especially the pulmonary and tricuspid valves. Much of the work involves clinical trials and multi-year outcome studies of transcatheter valve devices, such as the Melody and Harmony pulmonary valves, used to treat patients whose heart valves are leaking, narrowed, or failing after prior surgery. This research is relevant to students interested in device-based clinical trials, congenital heart disease treatment, and long-term outcomes tracking.

Publication output has been fairly steady over the past decade, with 2-5 papers per year, though the most recent two years (2024-2025) show a slight decline to about 2 per year.
