Aortic center

An interdisciplinary team of cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, vascular surgeons, angiologists and interventional radiologists formulates the optimal treatment regimen on a case-by-case basis.
At the department there is a unit where patients with aortic pathology are treated. In the run-up to and in the postoperative period, they are provided with comprehensive care, medical advice and a second medical opinion.
The list of provided medical services includes:

• Echocardiography (transthoracic, transesophageal, 3D, intracardiac).
• X-ray examination of the heart and its arteries.
• Minimally invasive treatment of structural heart disease.
• Installation of pacemakers and ICDs.
• Ablation in cardiac arrhythmia.
• Diagnosis.
• Counseling for pregnant women.
• Pulmonary hypertension therapy and patient care.
• Consultations of a psychologist, social worker.

Anesthesiology and resuscitation

The main task of anesthesiologists and resuscitators is to carefully prepare the patient for the operation, full support of the intervention process and help surgeons in the event of possible deterioration in the well-being of the operated person.

Heart surgery

The Leipzig Cardiology Center is a hospital that has been at the forefront of research into new methods of surgical treatment of heart failure for many years. The cardiac surgeons of the center perform a wide range of surgical interventions aimed at treating patients with congenital or acquired heart defects.

Based on the experience gained, the specialists of the center are constantly conducting research work in the direction of making improvements to treatment protocols. During the year, doctors of the department perform up to 3,500 cardio procedures. The lion's share of surgical interventions are minimally invasive, to open the sternum, for treatment, cardiac surgeons rarely resort.
The department performs:

• Reconstruction of the tricuspid valve.
• Lung transplantation (LTX).
• Heart transplant.
• Artificial heart implantation.
• Surgery for congenital heart disease.

Cardiology

Specialists of the department practice the use of minimally invasive surgery. Hundreds of interventions are performed every month at the center to eliminate CCC diseases and pathologies. The surgeons of the clinic have achieved significant success in mitral valve surgery. And carry out transcatheter reconstruction of the mitral valve, using MITRACLIP. Surgical interventions are performed by a team of cardiac surgeons and cardiologists.

Patients with mitral valve stenosis can be replaced with a biological or mechanical prosthesis. The clinic also performs operations to eliminate aortic valve stenosis by installing a prosthesis or reconstruction.

Cardiac surgeons use the TAVI method when inserting an implant into the aortic valve in the treatment of its stenosis. Such interventions in the clinic are carried out with the involvement of technical capabilities of hybrid and cardiac surgery, as well as a specialized laboratory for cardiac catheterization.

Children's Cardiology Center

The Leipzig Cardiology Center treats children with congenital and acquired heart defects. The specialized division of the clinic provides patients with a wide list of available types of operations performed, both on a planned basis and urgently. The predominant activities of the Children's Cardiology Center are catheter surgery and percutaneous lung valve replacement.
The Center conducts:

• Treatment of valvular stenosis.
• Correction of congenital heart disease.
• Therapy of pathological vascular compounds.
• Catheter prosthesis of the heart valve.

Hospital hygiene

The main direction of the department's work is educational and information activities. Namely: advising patients on the rules of use of drugs indicated in case of infection.

Doctors advise citizens on the rules of selection, dosage and administration of drugs. The importance of such information, especially the price if the patient is inclined to take antibiotics uncontrollably without following the instructions.

Radiology

Diagnostic and interventional radiology are advanced non-invasive methods of examination that are used in the department for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. When diagnosing abnormalities in the system use: MRI, CT, X-ray, etc.

Rhythmology

The Rhythmology Department of the German Cardiology Center is studying the causes and treatment of cardiac arrhythmia. Doctors of the largest specialized European hospital Herzzentrum Leipzig carry out a set of procedures aimed at eliminating life-threatening heart rhythm and arrhythmias.

Structural heart disease

The department treats elderly people suffering from structural heart abnormalities. Heart valve pathologies are at the top of the list of the most common health problems of this kind.

Due to the fact that elderly patients make the bark active in the treatment process, the staff of the department tries to provide them with comfortable conditions of treatment and rehabilitation.
