About the department
The Department of Cardiology at the University Hospital Oldenburg provides a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services to patients with cardiovascular diseases. The department's medical team specializes in the treatment of ischemic heart disease, heart failure, heart rhythm disturbances, aortic and mitral regurgitation, inflammatory heart diseases (myocarditis and pericarditis), cardiomyopathies, and other heart pathologies. The department has 59 beds and 6 beds in the intensive care unit. The pride of the medical facility is its advanced technical base: there are 4 cardiac catheterization laboratories, 3 echocardiography laboratories, and angiography rooms (MR angiography can also be performed in cooperation with the Department of Radiology). The therapeutic offer of the department includes drug therapy and catheter-based procedures. The medical services provided by the department are in accordance with the current clinical protocols and recommendations of the German Society of Cardiology (DGK), which contributes to the high success rates of treatment. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Albrecht Elsässer.
The main focus of the department is the catheter-based diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Coronary angiography is a minimally invasive method of examining the heart's blood vessels, in which a special thin catheter is inserted into the radial or femoral artery and guided to the heart under X-ray guidance. A contrast agent is injected through the catheter, which fills the coronary arteries and allows the nature, location, and degree of narrowing of the coronary artery to be determined with high accuracy. Coronary angiography is the most informative diagnostic tool for suspected coronary artery disease. Its results are used to determine the most effective treatment tactics for the patient. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is completely painless.
Therapeutic interventional procedures are also performed in the department's cardiac catheterization laboratories. One of the most popular catheter-based procedures is percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) with stenting. This procedure is an effective alternative to traumatic surgery for the treatment of coronary artery stenoses and obstruction. PTCA is performed under local anesthesia and X-ray guidance. In the first step of the procedure, a long, flexible catheter with a balloon attached is introduced into the lumen of the narrowed coronary artery. The balloon is then inflated to restore normal blood flow in the coronary artery. The final stage of the catheter-based procedure is the implantation of a stent to prevent recurrent occlusion.
The department's team of cardiologists also skillfully treats aortic regurgitation using an innovative, sparing method of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The main advantage of this procedure is its low trauma rate. TAVI eliminates the need for sternotomy and the use of a heart-lung machine. The patient's own aortic valve is not removed, but is covered with a prosthesis that is delivered to the target area through a special folded catheter. In most cases, the TAVI procedure is performed through a small puncture in the femoral artery in the groin. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is a highly effective and safe procedure. It is ideal for patients with comorbidities who are at high risk for open aortic valve surgery.
The department's range of medical services includes the following:
- Diagnostic services
- Echocardiography
- Transthoracic echocardiography
- Transesophageal echocardiography
- Stress echocardiography
- Contrast-enhanced echocardiography
- Electrophysiological studies
- Electrocardiography
- 24-hour Holter monitoring
- 24-hour blood pressure monitoring
- Magnetic resonance imaging of the heart
- Coronary angiography
- Angiography, including MR angiography and digital subtraction angiography
- Vascular Doppler ultrasonography
- Color-coded duplex sonography
- Echocardiography
- Therapeutic services
- Drug therapy
- Electrical cardioversion
- Catheter-based interventional procedures
- Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) with stenting
- Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)
- MitraClip procedure for mitral regurgitation
- Transcatheter left atrial appendage closure
- Radiofrequency catheter ablation
- Cardiac resynchronization therapy
- Transcatheter placement of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators
- Puncture epicardial ablation
- Balloon valvuloplasty for aortic and mitral valve stenosis
- Other diagnostic and treatment methods
