About the department
The Department of Pediatric Cardiology at the University Hospital Giessen UKGM specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of all types of congenital and acquired cardiovascular diseases in newborns, children and adolescents. In addition, the department is a supra-regional Adult Congenital Heart Disease Center (medical care is provided on an inpatient and outpatient basis). The department pays special attention to the treatment of congenital heart defects using open surgery or interventional procedures, medical and electrophysiological treatment of arrhythmias, and severe types of heart failure. The department is one of the leading centers in Europe specializing in heart transplantation in children. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Christian Jux.
The department has two operating rooms, in which doctors annually perform more than 500 operations to treat congenital heart defects in children of all age groups. The surgical treatment is carried out in close collaboration with pediatric cardiac surgeons. The spectrum is also complemented by interventional catheter procedures and hybrid interventions. In addition, the department is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, for example, a 3 Tesla MRI (more than 800 examinations annually), cardiac catheterization laboratory (more than 600 examinations and therapeutic procedures), and 3D rotational angiography device.
The department has many specialized outpatient clinics, in particular, outpatient clinics for pulmonary hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, conditions after heart transplantation and Fontan procedure, etc. The department receives about 8,000 young patients on an outpatient basis annually.
The key surgical intervention in the department is heart transplantation. In total, this operation has been performed 75 times in Giesse since 1988. The frequency of such interventions is about 8-10 cases per year. In the overwhelming majority of cases (56 out of 75), the patients were children who were younger than one year old at the time of the operation. Thus, the University Hospital Giessen UKGM holds a leading position in Europe in the field of heart transplantation in infants.
