AboutAbout the lab
Training world-class academic surgeons
As the cardiovascular surgery department of University of Tsukuba Hospital, the lab provides surgical treatment and clinical research for heart and blood vessel diseases and trains cardiovascular surgeons.
As a core institution of a wide-area medical region centered on Ibaraki Prefecture, the lab handles every kind of cardiovascular surgical disease, from newborns to the very elderly, 24 hours a day.
Research areas of the faculty are introduced as including biomechanical simulation of complex congenital heart disease and synchrotron radiation microangiography.
The description of the clinical care system is based on a greeting message dated April 2023.
