Cardiac Surgery

Heart surgery — team and plan first, in plain terms

A heart surgery decision is about life, and about choices. Shanghai's cardiothoracic teams operate to international standards and can plan conventional open-heart, minimally invasive small-incision or robotic-assisted approaches depending on your condition — with strict pre-operative risk assessment.

Why Shanghai

Why cardiac surgery in Shanghai

The right surgical team matters more than anything. Shanghai's cardiothoracic teams handle complex cases in considerable volume: valve replacement and repair, minimally invasive small-incision bypass, robotic-assisted cardiac surgery and major vessel surgery are all routine.

Our role is to lay out team, timing and cost before you travel: strict pre-operative screening, a procedure chosen for your condition, and complete English discharge documents, handed over to your doctors when you return.

“Choice decides life, and choice also decides the quality of recovery — choose the right team, then settle the plan.”
