Treatment and diagnostics atherosclerosis in Cologne, Germany

Cardiovascular surgery in Cologne is a clinical field focused on providing high-quality, sparing and efficient surgical treatment of cardiac and angiological pathologies. Drawing up a treatment plan begins with careful differentiation of {{pathologies. For this purpose, highly specialized check-up programs are used, including the following procedures:

• Laboratory blood tests to determine various parameters (clotting, lipids, etc.)
• Non-invasive and invasive coronary angiography
• Transesophageal and traditional (non-invasive) echocardiography
• Electrocardiogram (including Holter dynamics)
• Spirometry, ergometry, cycling ergometry
• CT and cardiac scintigraphy
• MRI and MR angiography
• Chest radiography
• Ultrasound with doppler
• Ultrasound of lymph nodes and blood vessels

Having established the exact cause and nature of the pathology, as well as the specifics of its course, doctors make a decision on treatment tactics.

Surgical therapy involves the following procedures or combinations thereof:

• Open heart and coronary artery surgeries controlled by Da Vinci robots
• Coronary artery bypass grafting
• Stenting followed by angioplasty
• Fixing kava filters
• Hardware / Instrumental Vascular embolization
• Radiofrequency ablation
• Laser therapy for varicose veins
• Cryostripping
• Valvular prosthetics and reconstructive aortic surgery
• Selective thrombolysis
• Endovascular interventions (including endarterectomy)

Surgical manipulations can be combined with pharmacotherapy, which uses new generations of drugs with proven effectiveness and a minimum number of adverse reactions. Treatment is completed with a rehabilitation program aimed at fixing and prolonging the therapeutic result, normalizing the activity of the cardiovascular system and protecting against future exacerbations.
