Occluder closure
In general, all examinations and treatment procedures are perfromed by the same physician, who took the patient's medical history, carried out the non-invasive tests and discussed with the patient, the indication and potential complications of the procedure.
Personal attention
Immediately after the procedure, the results and further procedures are discussed with the patient.
Aviation Medicine
Since 1996 the Bremen Heart Centre has been operating an Aviation Examination Centre, currently carrying out some 200 to 250 examinations per year.
These include medical fitness examinations to professional and private pilots, airline captains, cabin crew, parachutists, etc.
The Centre also provides consultation on health issues relating to medical fitness examinations and will help you to return to the cockpit should you be temporarily deemed unfit.
The physician in charge of the Examination Centre is certified by the LBA and possesses a professional pilot's license with instrument flight authorization and two-engine rating (CPL/IFR, No. 11603-LBA)
