Department of Cardiac Surgery
Specialized in: cardiac surgery About the Department of Cardiac Surgery at University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf
The Department of Cardiac Surgery offers the full range of surgical treatment for patients with heart diseases. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Hermann Reichenspurner.
The priority fields of the department's work include minimally invasive treatment of valvular heart diseases, modern therapy for pathological changes of the coronary arteries, coronary artery bypass grafting (including with the help of minimally invasive techniques without using a heart-lung machine), etc. The department's competent cardiac surgeons annually perform more than 2,000 surgeries using the heart-lung machine and about 400 transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedures. The innovative surgical equipment and effective treatment methods are the basis of the successful clinical practice.
The department's medical team has long experience in surgical interventions on the cardiovascular system. Despite the fact that cardiac surgery is a high-tech medical discipline, the department's doctors pay due attention to a friendly, sympathetic attitude towards the patient, as well to his individual needs and wishes.

- Coronary artery bypass grafting
- Off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery
- Total arterial myocardial revascularization
- Minimally invasive surgery
- Minimally invasive mitral valve repair surgery
- Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement
