Cardiovascular surgery completes the management of cardiac pathologies and damage to the main arteries. It treats all acquired diseases (coronary, valves, tumors, aortic dissections) and congenital diseases (poor connections of the heart chambers, orifices persisting since birth, valve malformations).
Treatments
Cardiovascular surgery repairs or replaces diseased parts of the heart or large vessels, narrows the coronary arteries, and implants machines to help provide normal cardiac output. The heart surgeon is also able to replace the entire heart, either by heart transplantation or by implanting a totally artificial heart.
It completes the range of care needed to manage patients with heart damage of all kinds, at all stages of the disease's evolution.
Personalized support
The Cardiovascular Centre relies on a network of approved doctors and the cutting-edge services of the Clinique des Grangettes to facilitate collaboration between specialists and ensure personalized patient care.
Heart disease often involves management by a multidisciplinary group of specialists. The Clinic has a Heart Team that brings together cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, anaesthetists, imaging specialists, transesophageal ultrasound specialists and intensivists to offer the patient the most appropriate treatment according to his state of health.
Patients treated by the Cardiovascular Center of the Clinique des Grangettes and requiring an intervention, can be operated on the site of our clinic. The specialists work together with two well-known doctors from the HerzZentrum in Hirslanden Zurich to provide optimal patient care.
