On behalf of all my colleagues, I would like to welcome you to the Clinical Department of Cardiothoracic, Transplantation and Vascular Surgery at Hannover Medical School.

We have achieved top national and international positions in research and science. Above all, however, we can offer you excellent medical care. With the findings of the latest research and our many years of clinical experience, we achieve optimum results in patient care in all areas.

If an operation is necessary, it is better to have it where possible concomitant diseases can also be treated with the highest level of safety and quality. The following information is intended as a guide to prepare you for your inpatient stay at our Clinical Department and to help you navigate through all phases of treatment during your stay.

Of course, the following information brochures are no substitute for a personal discussion with the physicians and nurses: you are always welcome to address your questions concerning your illnesses and the forthcoming treatment in our Clinical Department directly to us.

With best wishes for your health

Yours

Prof. Dr. Dr. Arjang Ruhparwar
