The Bad Krozingen Heart Center has been operating since 1978. During its existence, more than 30,000 open-heart surgeries have been successfully performed here. In 2002, the first implantation of the artificial heart Jarvik 2000 was carried out at the center. Today, the hospital ranks among the top ten medical institutions in the country according to the prestigious national magazine FOCUS and the authoritative medical weekly Deutsches Ärzteblatt. Each year, the Bad Krozingen Heart Center treats more than 150,000 patients, including international patients.

The center has a large inpatient department, general intensive care units, specialized cardiology and neurology intensive care units, hybrid operating rooms, its own laboratories, and a diagnostic department.

Among the popular procedures performed at the center are:

  • Coronary artery bypass grafting using a minimally invasive approach

  • Open and closed surgical interventions for the correction of heart defects (including in children)

  • Off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery without sternotomy

  • Removal of aneurysms of the thoracic and abdominal aorta

  • Radiofrequency ablation

  • Balloon angioplasty and stenting

  • Percutaneous catheterization (therapeutic and diagnostic)

  • Transplantation of donor and artificial hearts

  • Combined heart and lung transplantation

The professional staff of the clinic consists of outstanding cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and angiologists who were educated at leading educational institutions in Europe and the United States. The physicians continuously enhance their professional qualifications and work closely with scientists, enabling them to implement and refine fundamentally new approaches to the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

The Bad Krozingen Heart Center is located in an environmentally clean area rich in greenery and water resources. The mild climate and favorable environment help patients better tolerate invasive procedures and recover more quickly, reducing the risk of complications and disease recurrence.
