        About the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Hirslanden Clinic Aarau

        The Department of Cardiac Surgery at the Hirslanden Clinic Aarau offers the full range of surgical treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system, with the exception of heart transplantation. The department's doctors have special competencies in coronary artery bypass grafting, surgical treatment of heart valve diseases and aortic surgery. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. Thierry-Pierre Carrel.

        The cardiac surgeons cooperate closely with cardiologists, which allows the patients to receive comprehensive treatment. In addition, the department maintains cooperation with the University Hospital Bern, which ranks among the leading Swiss medical facilities. The therapeutic offer is complemented by postoperative cardiological rehabilitation on an outpatient basis. The experienced team of top-class professionals takes care of the health of patients. They use the very latest technical resources and innovative treatment methods to guarantee the optimal result.

        When performing surgical interventions, the doctors use a modified heart-lung machine and minimally invasive surgical techniques, which minimize the risk of complications.

        The department’s key clinical activities include:

        • Coronary artery bypass grafting
        • Heart valve repair, including valve-preserving reconstructive interventions (with appropriate clinical indications, minimally invasive techniques are used)
        • Surgical treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysm
        • Surgical treatment of heart rhythm disturbances (heart arrhythmias)
        • Surgical interventions in case of heart failure
        • Other surgical options
