As for treatment of arrhythmia, Âé¶¹AV Hospital is one of the top hospitals. We perform catheter ablation or device therapy using most-advanced medical equipment. We also make a strong effort to treat lethal arrhythmia, such as Brigade syndrome. We can use left atrial appendage closure device (WACHMAN(R)) to prevent cerebral infarction in patients with atrial fibrillation.
The Heart Failure Center in Âé¶¹AV Hospital, established in 2012, has focused on maintaining the heart failure patients¡¯ activities of daily life and preventing their readmission through the interprofessional team approaches. Now, Âé¶¹AV Hospital is a model hospital or Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry. We can treat particular kind of cardiomyopathy such as Amyloidosis¡¯ or Salcoidosis.
For patients with severe valvular diseases, we perform accurate preoperative evaluations of patients using cardiac CT and 3D trans esophageal echocardiography. We construct a heart team and perform TAVI or MitraClip(R) for patients with severe valvular diseases. As brain-heart team, we perform PFO occluder for paradoxical embolism caused by PFO. We can use FFRCT for estimate coronary heart diseases and also try to cure complex coronary vessels. We positively treat patients with cardiogenic shock using transvascular left ventricular assist device (Impella?).
We actively forge ahead with basic and clinical studies and publish 45 English original papers in 2019, 54 papers in 2020 and 53 papers in 2021.
