Features & Facts

Good Results in Heart Issues

Advanced 3D C-Arm Investment

In 2023, the clinic invested €240,000 in a fully motorized mobile X-ray system. This low-radiation technology provides vascular surgeons with crystal-clear, real-time 3D imaging while using a proximity-assistance system to ensure maximum patient safety.
