The Hospital Universitario Quirónsalud Madrid uses modern methods of radiosurgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Specialists use the brachytherapy method - a type of radiotherapy in which the radiation source is introduced into a tumor, the advantage of this technique is the effect of maximum doses on the neoplasms minimizing the effect on the surrounding tissues. Linear accelerators have multi-flow collimator (MLC) technology, which ensures the precise setting of the shape of the radiation beam - this prevents the irradiation of surrounding healthy tissues.

CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY IN THE CLINIC QUIRON MADRID

The Department of Cardiac Surgery of the clinic provides comprehensive treatment of all diseases of the heart and large vessels. In the case of coronary heart disease, doctors use coronary artery bypass surgery without extracorporeal circulation, which allows the heart not to be stopped for surgery.

In case of heart valve disease, doctors use reparative surgery, it consists of the repair of mitral and aortic valves, and not their replacement with prostheses. A team of experts applies aortic valve transcatheter implantation (TAVI), it is carried out through the femoral artery, so large incisions are not required and patients can get out of bed the next day. For the treatment of arrhythmias, doctors perform the implantation of all types of pacemakers, defibrillators and therapy for possible complications.
