Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery with the Use of a Surgical Assistance Robot [National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center]
surgeryCardiac SurgeryNational Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center (NCVC)（Kinki /Osaka ）
We perform cardiac surgery using the Da Vinci surgical robot, allowing for an early return to daily life.
Since 2018, we have performed approximately 100 robot-assisted cardiac surgeries annually, most of which are mitral valve repair procedures for mitral regurgitation.
See details
By utilizing the Da Vinci surgical robot, we achieve high-quality valve repair with minimally invasive surgery that reduces the burden on the body. Our treatments are characterized by a wealth of clinical experience. -
Aortic Valve Surgery Without Prosthetic Valve Replacement [National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center]
surgeryCardiac SurgeryNational Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center (NCVC)（Kinki /Osaka ）
We perform aortic valve surgery without using prosthetic valves for patients with aortic valve disease under the age of 65.
For aortic valve disease, valve replacement surgery with prosthetic valves is the standard approach. However, in younger patients, complications related to prosthetic valves and decreased activities of daily living (ADL) cannot be ignored.
See details
For aortic regurgitation, we perform aortic valve repair, and for aortic stenosis, we perform the Ross procedure. These procedures allow patients to maintain a high level of ADL over the long term without the need for lifelong medication post-surgery. -
Multidisciplinary Treatment for Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations [National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center]
surgeryNeurosurgeryNational Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center (NCVC)（Kinki /Osaka ）
For cerebral arteriovenous malformations, a challenging condition, we provide multidisciplinary treatment utilizing surgical intervention, endovascular therapy, and Gamma Knife radiosurgery.
With an annual record of 65 cases treated (based on 2023 data), we provide treatment characterized by extensive experience in managing cerebral arteriovenous malformations. Our facility offers three treatment options—surgery, endovascular therapy, and Gamma Knife radiosurgery—with specialists from each discipline on staff full-time.

Treatment for Refractory Cerebral Aneurysms [National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center]
surgeryNeurosurgeryNational Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center (NCVC)（Kinki /Osaka ）
We treat approximately 27 cases per year of large, thrombosed cerebral aneurysms, which are challenging to treat (2023 fiscal year data).
With an annual treatment record of 173 cases of cerebral aneurysms (2023 data), our center is distinguished by its extensive experience.
See details
Large and thrombosed cerebral aneurysms are challenging to treat with conventional surgical techniques. At our center, we address refractory cerebral aneurysms using complex treatment approaches such as high-difficulty surgeries that combine endovascular treatment and bypass procedures, as well as hybrid surgeries. -
Treatment for Moyamoya Disease [National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center]
surgeryNeurosurgeryNational Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center (NCVC)（Kinki /Osaka ）
We provide treatment for Moyamoya disease, a rare disease that is prevalent in East Asia. We perform approximately 60 bypass surgeries annually for this condition (2023 data), demonstrating our extensive experience.
Moyamoya disease is a rare, idiopathic disease prevalent in East Asia. Since its inception, our center has been performing bypass surgeries for Moyamoya disease and is often regarded as a leading institution for its treatment. In addition to providing treatment, we also conduct research on the disease’s pathology and the development of new therapeutic methods.
