Cardiothoracic surgery in Israel takes one of the leading places in the world. Our surgeons perform surgeries to treat cardiac, pericardial, pleural and large blood vessels of the chest, chest injuries and congenital defects correction of the heart and blood vessels. In some cases surgeries of the esophagus and diaphragm are performed in parallel.
We work with leading Israeli cardiothoracic surgeons, heads of departments of major Israeli hospitals and research centers.

Previously, most operations in this field were shunting, aimed at bypassing coronary artery obstruction. Today, due to advances in Israeli medical technology, our experienced surgeons perform most coronary artery operations without opening the chest. These operations are performed using the “therapeutic catheterization” method.
Currently, open surgery is used only in complex or specific cases of coronary artery occlusion. Catheterization saves patients time for recovery associated with open heart surgery, and also helps to avoid some complications.
