Department of Congenital and Pediatric Heart Surgery

Our clinic offers the entire spectrum of paediatric heart surgery and the surgical treatment of congenital heart defects - from newborns to adulthood. Our daily endeavours to achieve the best possible quality in diagnostics and treatment for our patients are confirmed every year by independent external quality controls. Your child is in good hands with us.

Our clinic has four certified paediatric heart surgeons. Our special expertise also includes the surgical treatment of rare and particularly complex heart defects, including Ebstein's anomaly, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, complex transposition of the great arteries with pulmonary stenosis and pulmonary vein stenosis.

Modern treatment planning, for example with 3D modeling, helps us to find the right treatment for our small and large patients, even in the case of complex malformations and borderline sizes of the heart chambers. We also constantly offer new and innovative treatment methods.  

In close interdisciplinary cooperation, we use blood-saving procedures in the treatment of all our patients in order to avoid blood transfusions where possible. For the treatment of simple heart defects, minimally invasive access methods can also be offered under suitable conditions.

About the clinic
Inpatient treatment

Every procedure requires a highly professional team that works together optimally. The nursing staff make a significant contribution here, whether in the operating theatre or on the intensive care ward.

Outpatient treatment

An outpatient clinic is often the first point of contact for patients who are suddenly confronted with the diagnosis of a heart defect.
