Treatment of structural heart disease

Structural heart diseases affect the anatomy and structure of the heart. These include diseases of the heart valves, defects in the atria and ventricles and malformations of the large blood vessels that leave or lead to the heart. These diseases can be congenital or develop over the course of a lifetime.

The assessment and treatment of valve diseases is a particular focus of our clinic. Our team includes interventional cardiology, cardiac imaging and cardiac surgery to ensure customised treatment for each patient. Our treatment specialisms include

• Minimally invasive heart valve interventions of the mitral and tricuspid valve: we offer state-of-the-art procedures such as the edge-to-edge procedure using MitraClip or Pascal.
• Interventional closure procedures: We use minimally invasive techniques to close defects such as atrial septal defect (ASD) or persistent foramen ovale (PFO), and also offer closure of the left atrial appendage (LAA)
• Imaging procedures: State-of-the-art imaging techniques such as three-dimensional echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography (CT) support us in the precise diagnosis, planning and performance of procedures.

In the treatment of structural heart disease, we rely on a patient-centred approach. This means

• Individualised therapy planning: Every patient receives comprehensive diagnostics and individually tailored therapy based on the latest scientific findings and guidelines.
• Interdisciplinary cooperation: Close cooperation between different specialist disciplines enables holistic and efficient treatment.
• Innovative technologies: By using state-of-the-art medical technology and minimally invasive procedures, we offer our patients gentle and effective treatment options.
