The Leviev Cardiothoracic and Vascular Center

Nina Gershuni 2019

Sheba's state-of-the-art Cardiovascular and Thoracic Treatment and Research Center is an ultra-modern, striking architectural gem sheathed in glass. Established in 2007, the Center integrates all Sheba's diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive cardiovascular and thoracic departments which include units for intensive and intermediate cardiac care, catheterization, heart failure, electrophysiology and cardiac pacing, noninvasive cardiology, nuclear cardiology, cardiac imaging, cardiothoracic surgery, vascular and thoracic surgery and cardiac rehabilitation, as well as specialized outpatient clinics, conference facilities, and the Neufeld and Tamman Cardiac Research Institutes.

It was the first comprehensive heart facility of its type to be established in the Middle East. The 300-person staff conduct a range of state-of-the-art procedures, including primary balloon treatment for heart attacks, transcutaneous aortic valve implantation and closure of intracardiac abnormal communications, radiofrequency ablation and implantation of sophisticated devices for rhythm disorders, as well as complicated open heart surgeries, including reconstructive valve surgery and aortic repair. The Center treats over 35,000 patients a year.
