About the Department of Cardiology, Angiology and Internal Intensive Care at University Hospital Freiburg

The Department of Cardiology, Angiology and Internal Intensive Care at the University Hospital Freiburg offers the full range of services in these medical fields. The medical team of the department has at its command the very latest methods of diagnostics and treatment of all cardiovascular diseases. In addition to general invasive and non-invasive methods of treatment of cardiac pathology, particular importance is attached to catheter techniques for managing patients with acute myocardial infarction and ischemic heart disease. Due to the unique clinical experience of the department’s doctors, patients are guaranteed optimal treatment results, as well as an individual approach to each clinical case. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c Christoph Bode.

The service range of the department includes:

  • Cardiac catheterization (for diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery diseases and heart valve disorders, as well as for heart function assessment)
    • Invasive blood pressure measurement in the area of vascular stenosis (fractional flow reserve)
    • Intravascular ultrasound examinations
    • Intravascular optical coherence tomography (for detailed imaging of the vessel lumen through a small catheter)
    • Coronary sinus reducer implantation
    • Installation of all types of modern stents (including drug-coated stents, totally bioresorbable stents)
  • Minimally invasive interventions for structural cardiovascular diseases
    • Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for aortic valve diseases
    • MitraClip technique in mitral insufficiency
    • Minimally invasive mitral valve annuloplasty
    • Mitral valvuloplasty
    • Valve-in-Valve technique for degradation of previously installed bioprosthetic heart valves
    • Treatment of tricuspid regurgitation
    • Minimally invasive ventricular septal defect repair
    • LAAC technique for the treatment of atrial fibrillation
    • Renovascular ablation in high blood pressure
  • Treatment of arrhythmias and heart failure
    • Implantation of pacemakers in bradycardia
    • Installation of implantable defibrillators in life-threatening clinical conditions (tachycardia, atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation)
    • Cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure
    • Modulation of cardiac contractility
    • Defi-West in dangerous tachycardias
  • Electrophysiology
    • Electrophysiological investigations
    • Ablation
    • Sclerotherapy of the pulmonary veins for the treatment of arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation
  • Echocardiography
    • Transthoracic echocardiography
    • 3D echocardiography
    • Stress echocardiography
    • Transesophageal echocardiography
  • Internal intensive care
