David J. Driscoll, MD — Pediatric Cardiology, Mayo Clinic

Who are you, in one plain sentence?

Dr. David J. Driscoll is a Professor of Pediatrics in Pediatric Cardiology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester — a cardiologist whose presence in a vascular anomaly directory reflects the cardiac dimension of conditions like Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome, Parkes Weber Syndrome, and CLOVES, where high-flow arteriovenous shunting or cardiac overload becomes a management priority that requires specialized cardiology input.

Why does a cardiologist appear in a vascular anomaly directory?

This is the right question. For most patients with KTS (slow-flow dominant), cardiac consultation is not routinely required. For patients with Parkes Weber Syndrome — particularly those with significant arteriovenous fistulas — high-flow shunting can create cardiac output demands that eventually affect cardiac function. For patients with CLOVES or extensive AVM burden, the cardiac dimension becomes clinically important. Dr. Driscoll’s presence in this directory reflects his historical role at Mayo Clinic’s multidisciplinary vascular care team, where cardiologists contribute to complex VA cases. Worth asking your primary VA team: whether cardiac evaluation is appropriate for your specific condition before seeking a cardiology referral.

Where do you practice and how do I reach you?

In the Published Record

Dr. Driscoll is listed at Mayo Clinic as Professor of Pediatrics in the division of Pediatric Cardiology. Mayo Clinic’s Gonda Vascular Center team includes cardiology as part of its multidisciplinary vascular care infrastructure — reflecting the reality that complex vascular anomalies with high-flow components require cardiac input that most dedicated VA programs coordinate through institutional colleagues rather than within the program itself.
