About the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Rambam Health Care Campus Haifa

The Department of Cardiac Surgery at the Rambam Health Care Campus Haifa offers the full range of open and sparing minimally invasive heart interventions. A highly qualified team of professionals takes care of the patients' health. They have in their arsenal operating rooms with state-of-the-art equipment. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med.

The most popular interventions include coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve reconstruction and replacement surgery and a combination of these two types of interventions. The priorities of the department's specialization also include surgical correction of congenital heart defects, treatment of arrhythmias, cardiac aneurysms, cardiac remodeling procedures in patients with congestive heart failure.

The department aims to provide medical services in accordance with the very latest achievements in the area of its specialization. It uses state-of-the-art technologies and new surgical techniques, including off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and new surgical methods for congestive heart failure, including reconstruction of the left ventricle.
