The 2nd Cardiac Surgery Clinic deals with the full range of adult and congenital heart disease surgeries, by applying minimally invasive (MICS) and endoscopic cardiac surgery techniques.

With small incisions (4 cm) at the level of the right breast, procedures performed include:

  • Repair or replacement of the aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves
  • Atrial septal defect (ASD) closure
  • Heart, mediastinum, and pericardium tumor removal
  • Use of the Experience Modus X robotic exoscope

At the same time, all conventional cardiac surgery procedures are performed, including:

  • Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) using arterial grafts, such as the left and right internal mammary artery, radial artery, gastroepiploic artery, and vein grafts
  • Beating heart technique
  • Surgery for ascending aortic, aortic arch and descending thoracic aortic aneurysms
  • Aortic dissection
  • Cardiomyoplasty with the Dor procedure
  • Complex combined valve replacement and CABG procedures
  • Heart failure surgery

We collaborate with Massachusetts General Hospital (Harvard Medical School), Boston, USA and Triemli Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland.

With our multiannual experience and expertise, we select the most suitable surgical technique for each individual patient, aiming for complete surgical success and for patients to make a full recovery.
