About the department

According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Cardiac Surgery at the University Hospital Heidelberg ranks among the top German departments specializing in cardiac surgery!

The department offers the full range of surgical interventions for the treatment of cardiac pathologies. The main priorities of the department include aortic surgery, heart transplantation, minimally invasive bypass grafting and heart valve surgery. It performs more than 2,500 surgical interventions every year. In especially complex clinical cases, all necessary specialists from the related fields are involved. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Matthias Karck.

The operating range of the department varies from minimally invasive bypass grafting and heart valve surgery to vascular prosthetics and a miniature artificial heart transplantation. During the operations, doctors use the cutting-edge computer equipment, accurate monitoring systems and advanced surgical techniques, which contribute to optimal treatment results and the most rapid recovery of the patients. If necessary,a heart-lung machine may be used. Since the end of 2009, the department's doctors have at their disposal the state-of-art hybrid operating room, where the simultaneous angiography and surgery are possible in optimal hygienic conditions. Previously, these two procedures were carried out separately.

The therapeutic options of the department include:

  • Coronary artery bypass grafting
    • Traditional coronary artery bypass grafting with the use of the heart-lung machine
    • Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting 
    • Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting
