Berlin, Germany · Robotic valve repair with a structured early-recovery pathway
DHZC in Berlin pairs robotic mitral repair with ERMICS, a recovery pathway linking anaesthesia, pain control and early mobilisation. Its bypass service also describes conventional, beating-heart and selected robotic approaches.
DHZC reported more than 260 robotic operations on 12 November 2025 after starting the programme earlier that year.
