Dr. Prieto then completed a residency in pediatrics at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital in New York City, followed by a fellowship in pediatric cardiology at the same institution. She then pursued a fellowship in interventional cardiology at Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. Her clinical interests include all types of transcatheter interventions for congenital heart disease in both children and adults. She also has extensive experience with transcatheter treatment of acquired pulmonary vein stenosis in post-ablation patients.

The Heart Program at Nicklaus Children’s, a world leader in pediatric cardiology and cardiovascular surgery for the care of children with congenital heart disease, serves as a beacon to families confronting the reality of a child or newborn with a heart defect. It offers the most innovative and least invasive approaches to the treatment of congenital heart disease, including many first-in-the-world procedures that were pioneered right here by The Heart Program’s own internationally renowned cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons.
