Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Intensive Care and Pulmonology
Specialized in: pediatric cardiology, intensive care, pulmonology About the Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Intensive Care and Pulmonology at University Hospital Tuebingen
The Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Intensive Care and Pulmonology at the University Hospital Tuebingen offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, congenital heart defects, pathologies of the respiratory system organs, as well as high-quality intensive medical care for infants, young children and adolescents. When treating children with cardiac pathologies, the specialists from the Departments of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Cardiology are often involved. The department is a certified supra-regional Center for Adults with Congenital Heart Defects. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Michael Hofbeck.
The department has its own modern Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory with a biplanic digital fluoroscopy and angiography system, a digital measuring station and a digital system for the following processing of images and archiving. About 300 young patients (from newborns to adolescents) are diagnosed and treated annually within the framework of the laboratory.
In addition, the department is among the few medical facilities in Germany specializing in Melody transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement. This procedure is one of the most progressive in the field of cardiology, and therefore it is performed only in highly specialized centers. The intervention is performed without opening the chest and leaves no scars. It also takes about 3 hours to perform.
The service range of the department includes:
- Diagnostics and treatment of heart rhythm disorders
- Electrophysiological studies
- Electrocardiography
- 3-dimensional imaging of the spread of electrical impulses through the myocardium (using CARTO, NavX, Ensite systems)
- Radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias
- Catheterization procedures
- Coronary angiography
- Interventional catheter procedures for the correction of heart defects using shunts
- Atrial septal defect closure
- Ductus arteriosus closure
- Ventricular septal defect closure
- Patent foramen ovale closure
- Closure of collateral vessels
- Closure of arteriovenous fistulas
- Hemangioma treatment
- Vascular dilation interventions
- Balloon dilatation in valve and vascular stenosis
- Stenting in vascular stenosis
- Restoration of blocked vessel patency
- Myocardial ablation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging aimed at
- Coronary artery imaging
- Imaging of the work of the heart and heart valves
- Determination of the size and volume of heart chambers
- Assessment of the intensity of blood supply to the heart
- Examination of the metabolic processes in the heart muscle
- Melody transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement
- Intensive care for young patients with the following diseases and pathological conditions
- Conditions after cardiac surgery
- Cardiovascular diseases, including arrhythmias
- Conditions after surgery in children, including cancer surgery, pediatric urology, surgical correction of malformations, traumatology, severe forms of burns

- Conditions after liver and intestinal transplantation
- Modern treatment and monitoring technologies (for example, helium breathing NO-HFO, PICCO, intracranial pressure measurement)
- Pediatric transport medicine
- Diagnostics and treatment of respiratory diseases in children (pulmonology)
- Outpatient services
