Surgical unit
Our 11 operating rooms, including 3 hybrid rooms, are staffed by an international, multi-generational team working full-time or part-time.
The portfolio includes all cardiac and vascular surgical procedures, from classic bypass- and valave surgery to modern surgical procedures such as minimally invasive 3D valve reconstruction and transvascular valve replacement, to the redesign of the anatomy of the heart and adjacent blood vessels.
Other areas of focus include endovascular aortic procedures, surgical treatment of acute type A aortic dissection , and the use of all mechanical circulatory support systems, including Transplantation of heart and lung transplantation.

Anesthesia service
The colleagues in the anesthesia department at the DHZC are part of an interdisciplinary team responsible for providing the highest level of perioperative care to our patients of all ages. They provide highly professional and experienced support in the treatment of complex clinical pictures and a wide variety of emergencies.
Safe anesthesiological care during highly complex cardiac surgery is characterized by interprofessional cooperation between all those involved and requires the anesthesiology teams to have the utmost expertise, extensive experience, and a high degree of specialization.
