Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery
Welcome to the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery at the Deutsches Herzzentrum der Charité. We are a maximum care university centre and treat all diseases of the heart and cardiovascular system in patients of all ages, around the clock, every day.
With over 3,500 heart operations per year, we are one of the largest specialised cardiac surgery clinics in Germany.
Our clinic is one of the world's largest centres for the use of mechanical circulatory assistance systems ("artificial hearts") and is one of the leading national centres for the treatment of valvular heart disease and for heart and lung transplants. Thanks to our interdisciplinary collaboration with the clinics of the DHZC and Charité, we offer our patients the best possible individualised treatment.
