Heart disease often requires surgery. But if previously such operations were risky for the patient, nowadays, thanks to modern, minimally invasive techniques, heart operations in Israel go without risk to health and life. The level of cardiac surgery in Israel is one of the highest in the world. There are major cardiology centers in the country, where operating rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to perform the most complex interventions on the heart.
Cardiac surgery is one of the foremost areas of Israeli medicine. The achievements of Israeli surgeons are known worldwide. The Promised Land is considered to be one of the countries where all types of cardiovascular diseases are diagnosed and treated - from arrhythmia treatment to heart transplantation.
The focus of Israeli cardiac surgery is on minimally invasive interventions. So, if 25 years ago most of the operations on the heart were aorto-coronary artery bypass grafting, today it is no longer so. New technologies for minimally invasive intervention through catheters have emerged. For example, this stenting is the expansion of a constricted vessel by a metal porous tube (stent).
Separately, a conceptually new approach to Israeli cardiac surgery to readings and contraindications to cardiac surgery should be mentioned. Earlier, heart surgery in Israel was done with the age of the patient, but today there are no age restrictions. This is made possible by the new advances in Israeli and world cardiac surgery. Modern surgical interventions have become much safer. Only in very rare cases is it possible to develop postoperative complications, but even those are quickly stopped by a team of doctors who closely monitors the patient after the intervention.
It is difficult to list all the innovative methods of surgical treatment of cardiac pathologies. There have been a great many of them over the last 15 years. Here are just a few of the current methods of surgery that are most commonly used today to treat heart disease in Israeli clinics.
• Operations without artificial circulation apparatus. Minimally invasive heart surgery is one of Israel's most important achievements in recent years. Earlier, it was necessary to stop the heart for cardiac surgery. The patient was connected to the apparatus of artificial circulation and lung ventilation. However, at present, operations have begun to be done on a working heart. Only the area of the heart on which the intervention is performed is fixed. An important benefit of heart surgery is to reduce the risk of postoperative complications. In particular, we are talking about arrhythmias, impaired circulation in the myocardium and even cardiac arrest (in very rare cases).
• Robotic heart surgery. A few years ago, robots were actively used in cardiac surgery. These are the devices that provide the most accurate intervention possible. Often, the capabilities of robots are higher than those of a surgeon. For example, robots can approach the operating area at any angle. In this case, all manipulations of the robot are set and controlled by a doctor who controls the mechanism remotely. One of the benefits of robotic heart surgery is the small incisions that allow the patient to recover much faster after the intervention. After a robotic operation, the patient can return to normal life within a week. However, normal operations often require a 2-month recovery period. Currently, Da Vinci robotic platforms in Israel effectively deal with heart defects, coronary artery disease, mitral valve prolapse, tumor formations and other cardiovascular pathologies.
A wide range of cardiac diseases are currently being treated in clinics and departments of cardiac surgery in Israel. Most often, the following services of Israeli specialists are in demand:
• Surgical treatment of congenital and acquired heart defects.
• Surgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmia in Israel with implantation of a pacemaker.
• Innovative treatment for atrial fibrillation - Labyrinth surgery.
• Treatment for heart failure - implantation of a CoRolla device.
• Treatment of an aortic aneurysm - prosthesis with the latest Cpmposite Valve Graft method.
• Hybrid arrhythmia treatments.
• Treatment of mitral valve defects.
• Treatment of cardiomyopathies.
• Treatment and diagnosis of atherosclerosis.
• Angioplasty.
• All types of bypass and stenting.
• Other services.
• Experienced cardiac surgeons.
• Operating "Hybrid".
• Minimally invasive and robotic surgery.
• Quick recovery after surgery.
• Loyal pricing policy.
Naturally, no treatment can be discussed without preliminary diagnosis. Scheduled cardiac surgeries must be carefully prepared. Diagnosis of heart disease allows doctors to choose the right tactics for surgical treatment. The following studies can be performed to evaluate the condition of the heart and make an accurate diagnosis:
• Blood test. The most important indicators in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases are fractions of lipids, triglycerides, homocystins, fibrinogen and lipoproteins. In the case of heart failure, an important indicator is the natriuretic peptide B.
• Echocardiography. This is a research method that visualizes the heart chambers. Echocardiography allows you to determine the structure of the heart and its functional status. As a rule, echocardiographic examination is prescribed for heart ischemia, heart failure, as well as pain in the chest.
• Catheterization. To obtain a clear image of the structures of the heart and blood vessels, cardiac catheterization is performed using a radiopaque substance. The patient is introduced through the groin or wrist into a vessel catheter, which under radiological control is brought to the heart. A contrast medium is introduced through the catheter, with the help of which doctors can determine the narrowing of the vessels and the locking zone. If necessary, angioplasty or stenting may be performed during catheterization.
• MRI of the heart. Magnetic resonance imaging allows you to get a detailed image of the heart in three-dimensional dimensions. Most often, an MRI is performed when treatment for heart disease in Israel is indicated. In addition, MRI can be prescribed for cardiomyopathies, thrombosis, and neoplasms of the heart.
In addition to the above methods, other diagnostic procedures may also be performed for heart disease. The package of laboratory and instrumental examinations for the patient is determined by the attending physician during the first consultation.
Cardiac surgery in Israel: prices
How much surgery will cost depends on the nature of the disease, its stage, what method of surgery doctors will choose as the most appropriate in this case. If we compare the rates for treatment in Israel and in other countries where cardiac surgery is at the same high level (Germany, Switzerland, USA, Canada), then Israeli treatment is much cheaper (by 30-50%), with the same high quality.
Advantages of Israeli cardiac surgery:
• Conducting minimally invasive operations with a short recovery period.
• Innovative technologies that deliver high results.
• Ability to perform surgery without cardiac arrest.
• No risk of open heart surgery.
• 100% diagnostic accuracy.
• Optimal value for money.
