About the department
The Department of Pediatric Cardiology at the Charite University Hospital Berlin provides a full range of medical services for infants, children, and adolescents with heart diseases. The department has been working for more than 35 years, ensuring excellent quality of treatment of the highest international standard. The main focus of clinical practice is the treatment of congenital and acquired heart defects in children using the latest catheter techniques. Over years of successful work, specialists have developed unique algorithms for providing effective care to children with complex heart defects. The department's infrastructure deserves special attention – comfortable diagnostic rooms, an intensive care unit with modern monitoring systems, two advanced cardiac catheterization laboratories, a hybrid operating room, a specialized outpatient clinic for the treatment of congenital heart defects, and a specialized Competence Center for counseling adults with congenital heart defects certified by EMAH. Thanks to advanced technologies, highly qualified specialists, and many years of experience, the department holds a leading position in Europe among the best pediatric cardiology clinics. All diagnostic and therapeutic services are provided in strict accordance with the requirements of the German Society of Pediatric Cardiology (DGPK), the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), and the International Society for Interventional Cardiology in Congenital Heart Disease (ISICCHD). The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Felix Berger.
An important structural unit of the department is a block with two cardiac catheterization laboratories, where both diagnostic studies and minimally invasive therapeutic procedures are performed. More than 800 diagnostic and therapeutic interventional procedures are performed annually in the department's modern cardiac catheterization laboratories. The experience of the department's pediatric cardiologists, minimization of radiation exposure, and technical innovations ensure maximum safety and effectiveness in the treatment of young patients.
The cardiac catheterization laboratories have a special interest in the examination and treatment of newborns with severe congenital heart defects. The department's team of pediatric cardiologists specializes in balloon dilation of all heart valves and stenotic vessels, including high-frequency therapy for pulmonary artery atresia and stenting. Interventional procedures are also successfully performed for atrial and ventricular septal defects. The spectrum of therapeutic procedures is complemented by interventions to close the patent ductus arteriosus – the department's specialists have unique experience in performing such catheter procedures even in premature infants weighing at least 1000 grams. Catheter treatment of all types of vascular malformations and renal artery stenosis in childhood is also performed here.
The department has the status of an Expert Center for interventional pulmonary valve replacement with innovative devices such as Melody, Sapien, Venus P Valve, and Harmony Valve. Such interventions are performed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
The team of pediatric cardiologists in the department also specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac rhythm disorders in children. More than 1,500 young patients suffering from arrhythmia receive help here annually. Treatment in this area includes all methods available in modern cardiology: drug therapy, catheter interventions for the installation of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, radiofrequency ablation (also with 3D mapping), and cryoablation.
The range of medical services provided by the department includes:
- Diagnostic capabilities
