The interdisciplinary center organization at the Herz- and Diabeteszentrum is most beneficial for the individual patient in terms of diagnosis, risk evaluation, choice of patient-tailored intervention and postprocedural treatment. With the active participation of cardiologists and surgeons, approximately 900 transcatheter valve procedures are performed yearly. Being convinced of the relevance of the surgical part of the heart team, her credo is to achieve the most benefitial approach for the patient in a interdisciplinary setting.
