Overview
Founded in 1957, Shanghai Chest Hospital is China's first Grade 3A specialist hospital focused on heart and chest disease. It concentrates on thoracic oncology and cardiovascular disease, with dedicated thoracic, respiratory, cardiac, critical-care, day-care, research, and MDT services.
Why this hospital
A high-volume heart-and-chest specialist center offering integrated thoracic oncology, advanced minimally invasive and robotic thoracic surgery, respiratory endoscopy, and complex cardiovascular intervention.
Clinical capabilities
Complex case management
The hospital provides a full thoracic-disease pathway spanning imaging and pathology, respiratory endoscopy, surgery, radiotherapy, systemic therapy, and multidisciplinary review. Cardiovascular services include complex coronary intervention, rhythm procedures, structural-heart intervention, pacing, valve surgery, and combined medical-surgical care for advanced heart failure.
Key departments
Departments and specialty centers known for their expertise
Cardiovascular Center (Cardiac Surgery + Cardiology) (心血管中心(心外科+心内科))
Specialty center
Focuses on surgical and interventional integrated treatment of complex congenital heart disease, valvular and coronary artery disease, performs minimally invasive valve repair/replacement, complex coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB/total arterial revascularization), cardiac surgery and transcatheter therapy for cardiomyopathy, and establishes a complete perioperative ultrasound and cardiac function evaluation system.
Structural Heart Disease and Valvular Intervention Center (结构性心脏病与瓣膜介入中心)
Specialty center
With TAVR/TEER/LAAO as the core, relying on CT-TEE image fusion navigation and 3D printing preoperative planning, it carries out minimally invasive valve treatment and left atrial appendage closure for high-risk/extremely high-risk patients, forming a continuous closed-loop management of multidisciplinary (MDT) assessment - intraoperative navigation - postoperative follow-up.
Thoracic Surgery and Thoracic Oncology Center (胸外科与胸部肿瘤中心)
Specialty center
Focusing on lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and mediastinal tumors, it is good at single-port thoracoscopy, total thoracoscopic sleeve resection, tracheal carina reconstruction, and robot-assisted surgery; establishes a precise diagnosis and treatment channel and rapid pathology for early lung nodules, and strengthens perioperative ERAS management.
Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine Center (RICU) (呼吸与重症医学中心(RICU))
Specialty center
Covers the treatment of COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary infection and respiratory failure. Technical features include EBUS interventional ultrasound, cryo/thermal ablation, airway stents, airway valves and ECMO support, and constructs a standardized treatment pathway for ARDS and refractory respiratory failure.
Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology Center (心律失常与电生理中心)
Specialty center
Equipped with a three-dimensional mapping and image fusion platform, it performs radiofrequency/cryoablation for atrial fibrillation, mechanism-based ablation for ventricular tachycardia/premature ventricular contractions, ablation for complex accessory pathways and congenital malformations complicated with arrhythmia, and provides precise follow-up of implantable devices (pacemakers/ICD/CRT-D).
Aorta and Great Vessel Disease Center (主动脉与大血管疾病中心)
Specialty center
Focuses on hybrid and endovascular treatment (FET/TEVAR/branch stents) of aortic dissection, aneurysm and complex arch lesions, and uses intraoperative TEE and real-time image guidance in hybrid operating rooms to improve the success rate of rescuing ruptured and high-risk cases.
Cardiothoracic Imaging and Molecular Imaging Center (心胸影像与分子影像中心)
Specialty center
Integrates high-end CT, cardiac MRI and PET-CT to carry out coronary CT-FFR, myocardial tissue phenotype, lung nodule imaging genomics and molecular imaging evaluation, providing a one-stop solution for tumor staging, efficacy evaluation and recurrence monitoring.
Cardiothoracic Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine Center (心胸麻醉与围术期医学中心)
Specialty center
Precise anesthesia monitoring with TEE/lung ultrasound as the core, combined with hemodynamic goal-oriented therapy and intraoperative brain/spinal cord protection strategies; responsible for extracorporeal circulation and ECMO intubation coordination, and promotes the implementation of the ERAS rapid rehabilitation system.
Advanced equipment
Da Vinci robotic surgery system
Ultrasound bronchoscopy
Fluorescence bronchoscopy
Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy
