About the department
The Department of Cardiology and Angiology at the University Hospital Halle (Saale) provides a full range of medical services in its areas of specialization. Patient care is provided in close cooperation with the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, and particularly complex clinical cases are discussed at weekly interdisciplinary medical boards. The healthcare facility offers patients a modern infrastructure, state-of-the-art equipment, and highly qualified doctors with many years of experience. The department's therapeutic offerings include drug treatment of heart pathologies, sparing interventional procedures using catheter-based techniques, and hybrid interventions combining catheter-based and open surgical techniques. Depending on the complexity of the clinical case, the department provides both inpatient and outpatient treatment. The successful clinical practice of the department is recognized by numerous quality certificates, including the ClarCert DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 certificate and certificates from the German Cardiac Society (DGK) in the field of interventional cardiology and treatment of acute coronary syndrome and heart failure. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Daniel Sedding.
The central place in the clinical practice of the department is given to interventional catheter-based procedures for coronary artery pathologies, aortic and mitral valve stenosis and regurgitation, patent foramen ovale, and atrial septal defect. One of the most popular catheter-based procedures is balloon angioplasty with coronary artery stenting for the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions of the coronary arteries and coronary heart disease (CHD). The purpose of balloon angioplasty is to eliminate coronary artery stenosis or occlusion and normalize the blood supply to the myocardium, followed by the placement of a drug-eluting stent or bioresorbable stent in the affected area of the coronary artery to prevent recurrent stenosis. Balloon angioplasty is performed under angiographic guidance with an approach through the femoral artery (a skin puncture of up to 2-2.5 mm in size is made) under local anesthesia without the use of a heart-lung machine. Balloon angioplasty is an alternative to coronary artery bypass grafting, which is classified as a complex surgical procedure. Hospitalization for balloon angioplasty is only 1-2 days. In addition, there is no need for long-term cardiac rehabilitation, so patients can return to their normal lifestyle almost immediately. To eliminate severe atherosclerotic lesions of the coronary arteries, the department also performs rotational ablation, a procedure in which a special rotating mini-drill (rotablator) is inserted through the patient's femoral or radial artery, which cleans the coronary vessel of calcified plaque from the inside, restoring its patency. If a patient is diagnosed with chronic coronary occlusion, the department's cardiologists offer treatment using the coronary artery recanalization (reopening) procedure. This is a sparing catheter-based procedure, the effectiveness of which is comparable to the results of surgery.
The department's team of cardiologists also excels in catheter-based procedures for aortic and mitral valve stenosis and regurgitation. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and the interventional MitraClip device placement procedure are successfully performed here. The TAVI procedure is indicated for aortic valve stenosis and involves replacing the aortic valve under X-ray guidance through a puncture in the femoral artery without stopping the heart. Aortic stenosis is a partial narrowing of the lumen of the aortic valve that makes it difficult for blood to flow from the left ventricle to the aorta, which supplies blood to the body. The main symptoms of aortic stenosis are severe shortness of breath, chest pain during intense physical activity, and increased fatigue. If left untreated, aortic stenosis can lead to sudden cardiac death. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is the optimal treatment option for patients with severe comorbidities and elderly patients at high risk for conventional surgical repair of the defect. The department's specialists also specialize in mitral valve reconstruction using the MitraClip device in patients with mitral valve regurgitation. The MitraClip procedure is performed through a femoral or radial artery puncture without opening the chest under local anesthesia. The effectiveness of the procedure is no less than that of standard surgery.
An integral part of the daily work of the department's cardiology team is the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias. The department has a specially equipped catheter laboratory where specialists perform electrophysiological studies to identify cardiac arrhythmias and treat them with radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The essence of the therapeutic manipulation is the point effect of radiofrequency energy on arrhythmogenic foci to destroy pathological tissues. After radiofrequency catheter ablation, the arrhythmia-producing impulses are no longer generated. Patients with atrial fibrillation can also undergo cryoablation in the department. In cooperation with specialists from the Department of Cardiac Surgery, the medical facility performs pacemaker and defibrillator implantation and cardiac resynchronization therapy.
The department also provides angiology services. This specialty deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all diseases of the arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels. Of particular interest is the treatment of occlusive peripheral arterial disease, venous thromboembolism, and carotid artery stenosis. The department's specialists perform more than 10,000 outpatient and inpatient angiology procedures annually.
The range of therapeutic services provided in the department includes the following options:
- Cardiology
- Drug therapy
- Catheter-based interventional procedures for heart disease
- Balloon angioplasty with stenting
- Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)
