The 3rd Clinic of Cardiac Surgery of “HENRY DUNANT Hospital Center”, under the direction of cardiac surgeon Dr. Dimitrios Protogeros MD, PhD, is staffed with experienced physicians of all relevant specialties (anesthesiologists, cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, pulmonologists, etc.) who have received comprehensive training in Greece and abroad and maintain the highest scientific standards. The goal of the clinic is to select and provide patients with the most appropriate treatment methods and surgical techniques.

It combines excellent surgical results, comparable to those of major international reference centers, with zero infection rates and minimal hospitalization stay.

The clinic manages the full spectrum of surgical cardiac diseases by applying the most recent scientific advances worldwide in coronary artery surgery (by pass) as well as aortic surgery. Valvular heart diseases are treated using endoscopic minimally invasive techniques ( Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery – MICS), representing the most advanced approaches employed at leading international cardiac surgery centers. These techniques combine excellent surgical outcomes with faster recovery and return to daily activities within just 4–5 days, significantly reduced postoperative pain, a lower risk of complications, minimized need for blood transfusions, and superior cosmetic results.

The clinic actively participates in numerous scientific conferences both in Greece and abroad.
