Innovative treatment for valvular heart disease at DHZC
Every year, more than 600 non-surgical procedures for heart valve diseases are performed at the largest German Heart Center Charité (DHZC):
- transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI);
- transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR);
- transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI).
The success rate for the procedures, according to the clinic, is more than 95%. Thanks to the world-class cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology at DHZC, these procedures are performed on patients with both heart transplantations and artificial hearts. Specialized procedures such as percutaneous (transcatheter) connection of a heart-lung machine are also available. These interventions save patients who have contraindications for cardiac surgery.
Proton therapy for eye cancer at Charité
Proton therapy for ocular melanoma has been carried out at the Charité Interdisciplinary Oncology Center in cooperation with the Helmholtz Center Berlin (HZB) since 1998. The treatment usually requires 4 radiation sessions, which the patient receives over the course of a week in a treatment room at HZB. Currently, according to the clinic, eye cancer is cured in 96% of patients. In most cases, not only the eye is preserved, but also the vision.
Non-surgical treatment of uterine fibroids at Charité
In the Gynecological Cancer Center, doctors use an innovative technique to treat uterine fibroids, which is an alternative to surgical intervention. MRI-guided focused ultrasound ablation (MRI FUS) is an outpatient procedure performed without incisions or anesthesia on an MRI table. The doctor visualizes the fibroids in the uterus using MRI and remotely sends focused ultrasound to it. This effect heats up the fibroids and causes irreversible changes in the tumor without affecting healthy tissues. A session of ultrasonic ablation takes from 3 to 4 hours.
The fibroids treated with ultrasound are partially or completely destroyed within a few months. Six months after treatment, it is recommended to undergo a follow-up examination. According to research results, MRI FUS can reduce large fibroids by 40%.
If you want to be treated in this clinic, leave a request on the Experts Medical website. The medical coordinator will take full responsibility for organizing the trip to the Charité and provide support during the stay.

- Immunotherapy is a promising area in oncology, the essence of which is to activate the immune system to fight cancer cells. Immune therapy is effective in various types of cancer, such as lung cancer, melanoma, stomach cancer, kidney cancer.
- Targeted therapy is a drug treatment method based on targeted action on molecular targets (targets) that play a key role in tumor development and growth. These can be tyrosine kinase inhibitors, mitogen-activated kinase protein (MAP kinase) inhibitors, or antibodies that block certain signaling molecules.

These methods allow you to more accurately and effectively affect the tumor, minimizing side effects and increasing the chances of a cure.

What are the features of the treatment of cardiovascular diseases at Scharite hospital?
The Charite University Hospital has received a quality certificate from the German Society of Cardiology (DGK). This ensures that the treatment, diagnosis and care of patients with pathologies of the heart and blood vessels will be carried out at a high level.
The specialists of the Scharite Department of Cardiology work closely with the Departments of Cardiac Surgery and Angiology, providing a comprehensive approach to each patient. The department has four diagnostic laboratories equipped with a digital biplane angiography system. These modern devices provide accurate diagnosis of diseases of the cardiovascular system.
For the treatment of the heart and blood vessels, the Charité clinic uses effective innovative methods, such as:
- Coronary artery bypass grafting. This is surgery to create a bypass for blood flow around narrowed or blocked coronary arteries that feed the heart. For this, the patient’s own veins or arteries are used.
- Stent implantation. A procedure to insert a thin metal frame (stent) into a narrow or blocked area of an artery to widen it and improve blood flow to the heart.
- Installation of artificial heart valves. Surgery to replace damaged or defective heart valves with artificial implants that allow normal blood flow through the heart.
- Transcatheter intervention on the mitral valve (TMVR). This is a minimally invasive procedure to correct mitral valve insufficiency (blood flow from the left ventricle into the left atrium) using a special device that fixes the valve leaflets.
- Cardioversion. This is a procedure to restore the normal rhythm of the heart in atrial fibrillation (improper and rapid contraction of the atria) using an electrical discharge or drugs.
Why is the general surgery department of the Scharite clinic considered one of the best in Europe?
The surgical department at the Charite Medical Center specializes in the treatment of various diseases of the rectum, stomach, liver and esophagus.
General surgeons also treat inflammatory diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The specialists of this department perform minimally invasive operations using advanced methods, including laparoscopy and the Da Vinci robotic system. These innovative techniques allow procedures to be performed with minimal trauma to patients.
The Scharite clinic uses modern medical equipment and technologies for operations, such as:
- Laparoscopy. A method of surgical intervention in which the operation is performed through small incisions in the abdominal cavity using special instruments and a video camera.
- Endoscopy. A diagnostic and treatment method in which a flexible tubular device (endoscope) with an optical system and special instruments is inserted into the body.
- Neuronavigation. A computer system that allows the surgeon to accurately determine the location of a tumor or other pathological focus in the brain and perform an operation with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.
- Laser. This is a device that emits a high intensity directional light beam and can be used to excise, coagulate or vaporize tissue.
- Cyber Knife. A robot-controlled radiosurgical system that allows the treatment of various tumors without resection using high-precision radiation therapy.
Modern methods of minimally invasive surgery play an important role in saving the lives of patients with severe diagnoses, such as a pituitary tumor, aortic aneurysm, and heart defects.
German doctors actively use these advanced techniques, which allows them to perform surgical interventions with minimal risks for patients and achieve high results.
