Destination and programmes What stands out Clinical distinction Canada Ottawa University of Ottawa Heart Institute → Toronto Peter Munk Cardiac Centre, Toronto General Hospital → Minimally invasive bypass with recovery and long-term follow-up evidence Total-arterial bypass through a smaller chest incision Its research provides both a measured early recovery benefit in eligible patients and evidence that later coronary disease still needs attention. Selected multivessel operations combine arterial grafts, a smaller intercostal incision and avoidance of heart–lung support. China Hangzhou Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital → Wuhan Tongji Hospital Wuhan → HCM surgery through an underarm incision, with the breastbone preserved Septal myectomy through the apex on a beating heart The earlier infra-axillary series demonstrates combined septal and subvalvular correction through the same smaller access. The studied transapical approach accesses the septum without cardiopulmonary bypass, while the heart continues beating. France Paris AP-HP Pitié-Salpêtrière → Aortic-root surgery with a native-valve preservation focus The service includes a valve-preserving aortic-root approach supported by technique-specific comparative research. Germany Berlin German Heart Center of Charité (DHZC) → Bad Oeynhausen Heart and Diabetes Center NRW → Robotic valve repair with a structured early-recovery pathway LVAD care that continues after implantation The ERMICS pathway connects minimally invasive valve surgery with pain control and early mobilisation; suitable patients reach a regular ward on the same day. Continuing VAD support and coordinated outpatient/inpatient care are described parts of the programme, not only the implantation procedure. India Gurugram Medanta → Arterial grafts, beating-heart bypass and robotic access Named surgeons cover separate CABG choices: arterial grafts and diffuse coronary disease, beating-heart support, and robot-assisted chest access. Italy Monza Policlinico di Monza → HCM myectomy that addresses abnormal mitral chordae Its studied HCM operation preserves the mitral valve while treating abnormal secondary chordae and septal muscle together. Japan Tokyo NewHeart Watanabe Institute → Robotic Barlow repair using an anatomy-specific strategy The published Barlow technique combines artificial chordae and selective leaflet resection to retain a complex native mitral valve. Spain Barcelona Centro Médico Teknon → CABG with a named team and defined inpatient care The medical package defines preoperative assessment, room type and inpatient days, with hotel, airfare and transfers transparently excluded. Thailand Bangkok Bumrungrad International Hospital → Surgical and catheter valve treatment within one heart team Surgical and catheter valve options can be assessed in one service with imaging, anaesthesia and rehabilitation disciplines. Turkey Gebze, Kocaeli (Istanbul region) Anadolu Medical Center → Istanbul Hisar Hospital Intercontinental → Complex valve repair and valve-sparing aortic-root surgery Repeat valve surgery and a priced robotic bypass pathway Complex valve repair and valve-sparing root replacement provide routes to retain suitable native valve tissue. The service combines explicitly listed redo-valve expertise with a named robotic CABG package that includes postoperative monitoring and travel transfers. United Kingdom London Royal Brompton Hospital → Valve-sparing root surgery with wider aortic expertise Root preservation, more extensive aortic reconstruction and redo expertise are described within the same surgical practice. United States Cleveland, Ohio Cleveland Clinic → New York NYU Langone → Rochester, Minnesota Mayo Clinic Rochester → Chicago UChicago Medicine → New York NewYork-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell Medicine → Los Angeles Cedars-Sinai → Durham, North Carolina Duke University Hospital → Boston Boston Children’s Hospital → New York Columbia / NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital → St. Louis, Missouri WashU Medicine / Barnes-Jewish Hospital → Distinct teams for mitral repair, HCM and complex valve reconstruction HCM surgery tailored to the valve apparatus, with emerging robotic access HCM, apical aneurysm and congenital disease with complex anatomy Totally endoscopic CABG, including selected multivessel and hybrid plans Bypass graft selection with ten-year randomized evidence Robotic mitral repair measured by anatomy and durability Aortic reconstruction, transplantation and mechanical support Complex two-ventricle reconstruction with long-term planning Congenital treatment from defect closure to staged reconstruction Maze surgery with long-term rhythm follow-up Distinct valve, myectomy, catheter and endocarditis specialists support different anatomical problems rather than a single general cardiac-surgery label. The HCM team covers medical and surgical treatment, with anatomy-specific valve-apparatus work and a separately reported robotic route. The programme includes pathways for selected apical aneurysm disease and congenital/reoperative problems beyond routine basal HCM obstruction. Selected patients can receive fully endoscopic beating-heart grafts, including multivessel or hybrid bypass-and-stent treatment. Specific arterial-graft expertise is paired with randomized long-term evidence on radial artery versus vein conduits. Anatomy-specific repair data separate routine prolapse from Barlow disease and include follow-up for recurrent leakage. Aortic disease can be managed across cardiac and vascular disciplines, while a separate service offers transplant and temporary or durable circulatory support. Detailed anatomical modelling and tailored reconstruction create a two-ventricle pathway for selected difficult congenital hearts. The programme spans isolated defect repair, neonatal reconstruction, congenital valve work and transition to adult congenital care. A current surgical AF service is paired with long-term institutional rhythm follow-up that includes patients with previous catheter-ablation failure.
