Prof. Dr. med. Georg Nickenig
Department of Cardiology, Angiology and Pulmonology
Specialized in: cardiology, angiology, pulmonology About the Department of Cardiology, Angiology and Pulmonology at University Hospital Bonn
According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Cardiology, Angiology and Pulmonology at the University Hospital Bonn ranks among the top German national hospitals in 2018. The department offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment of all diseases of the cardiovascular system, lungs and bronchi, as well as veins and arteries, both on an outpatient and inpatient basis. The department specializes in the treatment of coronary heart disease, heart valve diseases, heart arrhythmias, congenital and acquired heart defects, as well as of inflammatory cardiovascular diseases. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Georg Nickenig.
In the field of cardiology, the department offers all the diagnostic and therapeutic methods of conservative and interventional treatment. These include the very latest non-invasive methods for diagnosing ischemic disease and heart valve disease (for example, 3D ultrasound, stress tests), as well as heart failure. The department is a recognized center for the treatment using defibrillators and resynchronization therapy in patients with severe heart failure. The department also offers certified treatment of hypertension (certificate of the German Hypertension League). In addition, it offers all the interventional treatment methods for aortic, mitral, tricuspid and pulmonary artery valves. Another department’s priority is the treatment of combined coronary pathologies.
Within the framework of electrophysiology and arrhythmology, there are treated all congenital and acquired heart rhythm disorders. In addition to drug treatment, the department's specialists have at their disposal all common and innovative methods of invasive diagnostics and ablation in cardiac arrhythmias. These also include invasive ablation therapy of the left atrium and ventricles using transseptal and epicardial approaches. In addition, the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory serves to perform the operations to implant pacemakers and defibrillators for the treatment of bradycardic and tachycardic heart rhythm disorders.
The department's angiologists offer the very latest diagnostics of vascular diseases. In addition, the innovative medical and interventional methods are used for the treatment of all angiologic pathologies (in particular for the treatment of occluded peripheral arteries and veins). In addition to the classic balloon dilatation and stenting, as well as the use of drug-coated cylinders and stents, the department successfully uses such methods as rotational thrombectomy, atherectomy, aspiration thrombectomy, thrombolytic therapy using a cutting balloon, etc.
The department has an impeccable reputation in the diagnostics/treatment of all benign and malignant lung diseases. The modern laboratories for functional diagnostics of the lungs, sleep and bronchoscopy offer all modern methods. The department has in its arsenal the interventional techniques and innovative methods of drug therapy for the treatment of COPD/emphysema, bronchial asthma, lung cancer, infectious lung diseases, sleep disorders, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial and other rare lung diseases. The special focus was made on the interdisciplinary and multimodal treatment of lung cancer, which is carried out in collaboration with the Departments of Thoracic Surgery, Radiology, Oncology, Radiation Therapy, etc.
With the highly qualified specialists with the advanced experience in the treatment of all diseases in the fields of its specialization, as well as the very latest medical technology and treatment concepts, the department provides medical care of the highest quality and deservedly belongs to the leading centers in Germany.
The diagnostic and therapeutic range of the department includes the following options:
- Diagnostics and treatment of hypertension
- Diagnostics and treatment of pulmonary heart and pulmonary circulation disorders
- Diagnostics and treatment of all diseases of the respiratory tract, lungs and bronchi
