Huang Mark Wei MD, a board-certified cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon in Chula Vista, graduated from Albany Medical College in 1995 and brings more than 30 years of operative experience in open-heart and thoracic procedures to the Medical Center Drive corridor. His dual specialization in cardiac and vascular surgery requires access to hybrid operating suites and perfusion teams at Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista, where he performs coronary artery bypass grafting and valve-replacement procedures. He holds additional surgical privileges at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, Palomar Medical Center, and Sharp Grossmont Hospital through CVTS Medical Group, Inc. Published research on myocardial cyclic GMP attenuation in cardiac stunning has appeared in peer-reviewed surgical journals, informing his intraoperative myocardial-protection strategies. Acute surgical referrals for conditions including tension pneumothorax and aortic dissection arrive through the emergency pipeline at Sharp Rees-Stealy Chula Vista Urgent Care when cases exceed urgent-care stabilization capacity. Highest-complexity procedures include combined coronary bypass with aortic valve replacement on cardiopulmonary bypass and minimally invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic lung resection for stage-I non-small-cell carcinoma.
