Rate My Professor Lynn Peng

Lynn Peng is a Clinical Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Cardiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. She received her AB in Chemistry from Harvard University in 1997 and her MD from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 2001. Following completion of her pediatrics residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 2004, she undertook a fellowship in pediatric cardiology at Children's Hospital Boston, finishing in 2008. She is board-certified in pediatric cardiology by the American Board of Pediatrics since 2008. Dr. Peng joined Stanford in 2009 as Associate Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory in Pediatric Cardiology, advancing to Director in 2017, a role she continues to hold. She was appointed Clinical Professor in the Department of Pediatrics in 2022 and is a member of the Cardiovascular Institute. As head of the interventional catheterization program at Stanford Medicine Children's Health, she oversees a high-volume service conducting over 1200 procedures annually, with approximately 60% interventional, including valvuloplasty, angioplasty, stent placement, transcatheter valve replacement, and device closures for atrial and ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, and other congenital lesions.

Dr. Peng maintains an active teaching portfolio, leading courses such as PEDS 199 (Undergraduate Directed Reading/Research), PEDS 299 (Directed Reading in Pediatrics), PEDS 370 (Medical Scholars Research), PEDS 399 (Graduate Research), and PEDS 280 (Early Clinical Experience). Her scholarly contributions include over 67 publications, with notable works encompassing outcomes of transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation, management of pulmonary atresia with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries, hemodynamic assessments in complex congenital heart disease, and innovative catheterization techniques. Key publications include "Long-Term Outcomes After Melody Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Implant in Patients Weighing ≤30 kg" (JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2026, with McElhinney DB et al.), "Midterm Outcomes in a Pooled Cohort of Harmony Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Recipients" (Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2025, with Morray BH et al.), "20-Year Experience With Repair of Pulmonary Atresia or Stenosis and Major Aortopulmonary Collateral Arteries" (Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2023, with McElhinney DB et al.), "Programmatic Approach to Outpatient Cardiac Catheterization in Children With Stable Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension" (Pulmonary Circulation, 2025, with Adamson GT et al.), and "First described mitral clip in an adult extracardiac Fontan patient: a case report" (European Heart Journal: Case Reports, 2023, with Haeffele CL et al.).
