What the official source confirms

UChicago's own pages for obstetric, adult cardiothoracic, pediatric and critical care fellowships were read and corroborate the batch note about SF Match, one obstetric fellow and three critical care positions. Visa or international-applicant policy is not stated on any of them. The 'thoracic-anesthesia' sub is covered only within the adult cardiothoracic page (thoracic ICU/OR rotations); no standalone thoracic fellowship page was read. Cardiothoracic position count is internally inconsistent on the page (two vs three). Pain medicine page exists but is out of scope.
