Advanced heart programme from open-heart surgery to TAVI
Overview
Cardiovascular Surgery
Advanced heart programme from open-heart surgery to TAVI
The cardiovascular surgery department is built around a high-volume pathway for adult and paediatric patients. Coronary bypass, valve surgery, aortic reconstruction and combined procedures are coordinated under one roof.
Pre-operative board review, a hybrid operating theatre, ECMO readiness and a 40-bed ICU allow complex decisions to be executed without delay. The goal is not only surgical success, but early mobilisation and safe discharge.
