Cardiology

Cardiac, Thoracic and Vascular Surgery

Klinik Hirslanden offers a comprehensive range of diagnostics, both non-invasive and invasive, and of therapeutic and surgical procedures including the latest Niobe® magnetically guided catheterisation. Cardiology has seen a steady expansion of available therapies, such as the latest drug-eluting stent technology combined with antithrombotic medication.

pacemakers, arrhythmia, atrial fibrilation

Treatments range from medicinal to dilatations of the coronary vessels, implantation of vascular prostheses, bypass operations after a cardiac infarction (or for its prevention) to surgical reconstruction and implantation of heart valves.

Balloon angioplasty and implantation of vascular supports (stents) in narrowed or blocked coronary blood vessels, carotid arteries, renal arteries, arm, pelvic and leg blood vessels.

Atherectomy

Valvuloplasty

Chemical septal ablation

Catheter-technical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias (radiofrequency ablation) and treatment of atrial fibrillation and flutters.

Implantation of cardiac pacemakers

Cardiac resynchronisation therapy with special pacemakers for cardiac insufficiency.

Implantation of automatic cardioverter/ defibrillators (ICD) for life-threatening arrhythmias

Cardioversion of atrial fibrillation

Patients with cardiovascular diseases are treated in a holistic and comprehensive manner including the following procedures:

More than 2000 diagnostic cardiac catheterisations, approximately 800 percutaneous balloon dilatations and about 800 open heart operations are performed annually.

Catheters are inserted through veins in the groin and then guided to chambers of the heart. Until recently they could only be positioned using guidewires but the Niobe® system now enables a computer to navigate the catheter using external magnetic guidance. For further details visit the Niobe Catheterisation page.
