Euregio-Klinik invests 1.8 million euros in modern heart medicine!

The Euregio Clinic in Nordhorn recently initiated extensive structural changes, which are visible through numerous cranes on the clinic grounds. These measures are part of a targeted investment in modern medical technology with the aim of offering patients improved medical care. A total of 1.8 million euros were invested in new large-scale medical equipment, including an advanced hybrid operating room (hybrid OR) and a left heart catheter measuring station (LHKM). Loud nordnews.de The first patients have already successfully benefited from these new facilities.

The new left heart catheterization station, provided by Philips, is designed to perform minimally invasive cardiac examinations and procedures. It offers significant advantages through improved imaging of the coronary arteries while reducing radiation exposure for patients and medical staff. Prof. Dr. med. Frank Weber, chief physician at the Clinic for Internal Medicine I/Cardiology, emphasizes the importance of this modern medical technology for rural regions.

State-of-the-art technology in the hybrid operating room

The hybrid operating room, which went into operation at the end of last year after a two-year planning and construction period, represents another significant advance. Equipped with an adaptable table system and an integrated high-performance angiography system, this OR allows both diagnostics and procedures to be carried out in a single room. This not only accelerates the process, but also allows new therapy options to be used at the same time, which is particularly advantageous for vascular patients and accident victims.

Dr. med. Rüdiger Möller, chief physician at the Clinic for Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, emphasizes the increased safety and the possibility of minimally invasive surgical techniques. The integrated angiography system provides detailed, three-dimensional images that enable precise imaging of the blood vessels. This reduces the frequency of x-rays and significantly reduces radiation exposure, while minimizing the risk of complications and subsequent operations.

Benefits for patients

The treatment of typical clinical pictures in the hybrid operating room includes vascular occlusions, aortic aneurysms, smoker's leg and diabetic foot. The simultaneous diagnosis and surgery means that procedures can be carried out faster and more gently, which ultimately accelerates the healing process. The clinical possibilities associated with this modern technology not only offer a high quality of care, but are also groundbreaking for the future of medicine in the region.

Overall, the investment of 1.8 million euros reflects the Euregio Clinic's efforts to ensure optimal medical care and to offer patients the best treatment methods directly on site. These advances are clear evidence of the clinic's commitment to improving healthcare in rural areas, he said saw-eschweiler.de.
