Research
Dr. Monteagudo joined the faculty in 2019. Her previous basic science research focused on angiogenesis in vascular anomalies. Specifically, the effects of propranolol on lymphatic malformations and chylothoraces. She had the opportunity to translate findings from the lab to treat patients with lymphatic malformations and chylothoraces and now continues her work in this field directing the Vascular Anomalies Clinic here at Hasbro Children’s Hospital. Dr. Monteagudo completed an ECMO fellowship and has a strong interest in both clinical and lab research in this area. The focus of her current research in this field is on hemolysis. As the director of ECMO at Hasbro Children’s Hospital she is working to keep the program at the forefront of advances in neonatal and pediatric ECMO and enjoys collaboration which has allowed innovation to make ECMO safer and more effective for the children of Rhode Island. She is also involved in the Fetal Treatment Program with Dr. Luks and Dr. Renaud and is beginning some research in that area as well.
