Germany ranks first in Europe for complex heart surgeries: over 320 procedures per day at Charité, the German Heart Center, and Klinikum rechts der Isar alone. TAVI, MitraClip, hybrid procedures, Da Vinci surgery, and heart transplants are available.
German cardiac centers are the global benchmark for the treatment of coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, valvular heart disease, and heart failure. They are home to some of the few centers for robotic cardiac surgery in Europe.
There are over 80 cardiology centers in the country, including five top-tier centers (German Heart Center Berlin, Potsdam, Charité, Bad Nauheim, and Bad Krozingen). Over 100,000 heart surgeries are performed annually, including over 5,500 for international patients.
German clinics use all modern approaches, from classical to the latest personalized approaches.
Open and off-pump bypass surgery. Germany is the world leader in survival rates (98.4% at 30 days).
Modern drug-eluting stents, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), bifurcation stents for complex anatomy.
Minimally invasive valve replacement without opening the chest. Suitable for patients 70+ and high-risk groups.
Percutaneous repair of mitral and tricuspid regurgitation — without open-heart surgery.
3D mapping, cryoablation, treatment of atrial fibrillation, WPW syndrome, and ventricular tachycardias.
Cardioverter-defibrillators and cardiac resynchronization therapy — life-saving in heart failure and at risk of sudden cardiac death.
Robotic mitral valve and bypass procedures with minimal trauma and fast recovery.
Heart transplantation and ventricular assist device implantation (HeartMate 3, HeartWare). Waiting list 6–18 months.
We organize treatment for all cases. The following are frequent referrals from our patients.
The standard patient pathway is from initial request to return home and long-term follow-up.
Send us your reports and scans — the professor assesses your diagnosis within 3–5 days.
Examination and additional tests (coronary angiography, cardiac MRI).
Cardiologist, cardiac surgeon, anesthesiologist, and interventionalist agree on the treatment strategy.
According to the Heart Team's plan: PCI, CABG, TAVI, ablation, etc.
3–10 days of monitoring, physiotherapy, and therapy adjustment.
Video check-ins at 1, 3, and 6 months.
These are indicative ranges. The exact cost is confirmed after we review your documents.
Real patients who have been treated through Sofortmed
«Severe aortic stenosis — open surgery would have carried a high risk. At the Deutsches Herzzentrum they performed TAVI on day 4 after arrival. No chest incision; by the third day I was already getting up. 11 days in Berlin. My Sofortmed coordinator arranged everything, including accommodation for my wife. This account is based on typical cases. Names and details have been changed.»
