CARDIOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF SHAARE ZEDEK HOSPITAL
Thanks to the cardiosurgical department, the hospital is considered one of the leading institutions in Israel for the surgical treatment of coronary heart disease by coronary artery bypass grafting, and valvular heart disease in adults of all ages. The specialists there perform more than 2,000 coronarographies yearly.
Since 2008, they have been performing non-surgical implantation of an aortic valve by introducing an artificial valve through the femoral artery or usinh a transapical method. This technique saves lives of people suffering from severe aortic valve contraction, for whom open-heart surgery is unavaliable due to high risk. According to the statistics, the department has performed more than 6,000 successful operations:
Valve implantation by conventional cardiosurgical method and through femoral artery catheterization (without the need for surgical opening of the chest);
Aorto-coronary bypass surgery;
Ablations;
Coronary artery stenting.
Following diagnostic procedures are available:
Computer tomography of the heart (virtual angiography);
Electrophysiological study (EPS);
Coronary angiography (annually conducted for 2 000 patients);
Implantation of cardiac stimulants and defibrillators;
Cardiac catheterization for closing atrial and interventricular septal defects;
Interstitial closure of the left atrial appendage by catheterization of the femoral artery. This procedure prevents the formation of blood clots in the left atrium and is indicated to those suffering from atrial fibrillation and those who can not receive anticoagulation therapy.
