Under the direction of Dr. Ehud Raanani, the brilliant young surgeon widely-considered the top heart and valve surgeon in Israel, Sheba's Department of Cardiac Surgery has become one of the more versatile heart surgery services in Israel. The department's expansive new facilities, in the recently opened Sheba Heart Center, were dedicated on January 14, 2008, in the presence of many Israeli supporters and former patients. The department operates adult heart surgery, pediatric surgery, heart transplantation, National Homograft Bank, organ perfusion and ECMO (artificial lung) units, and is a leader in heart valve repairs.
