Clinic for Heart Surgery

In the Heart Surgery, acquired heart defects are treated, particularly the coronary heart disease and valvular heart diseases. To do this, both the conventional surgery method with big thorax opening and also endoscopic procedures are used. Withdrawal of the lower leg and upper leg vein used for bypass surgeries also takes place in a minimum invasive way.

Furthermore, the service range of the Heart Surgery includes rhythm surgery with patients showing heart rhythm disturbances in the atrium and ventricle area and surgical treatment of chronic cardiac insufficiency by means of specific cardiac pacemakers or defibrillator systems.
