FAQ

Should I choose the center to treat aortic valve stenosis and bypass surgery?

The clinic actively uses TAVI transcatheter aortic valve implantation through narrow access using a catheter. In addition, doctors perform most planned bypass operations thanks to the gentle OPCAB method with a stabilizer without a heart-lung machine, significantly minimizing complications.

Is modern therapy available to treat narrowed vessels?

With a constant search for new methods, the hospital offers treatment with the Shockwave device, which can deliver localized shock wave energy for balloon dilation of calcified, stenotic, newly formed coronary lesions. The technology can seriously extend the patient's life expectancy.

Does the Heart and Diabetes Center accept kids with heart failure?

One of the intermediate options while waiting for a heart transplant is using cardiac support systems. The EXCOR Pediatric cardiac support system is the only system approved worldwide for newborns and infants. As a result, the number of complications is minimized even during long-term use.
