The new state-of-the-art laser device makes it possible to perform minimally invasive procedures on patients with heart disease, e.g. to open narrowed coronary vessels or remove defective pacemaker probes. With this gentle method, operations can often be avoided. This relieves the burden on patients in the long term, also because they recover better and faster.

Prof. Dr. Markus M. Lerch: "The LMU Klinikum is one of the largest and best maximum care hospitals in Europe. In addition to research and teaching, it is very much about providing the best possible care for sick people, but money also plays a role here. Without the donations collected through fundraising, many things would not be possible at the hospital. I am very pleased that we have now been able to purchase the ultra-modern heart laser, which can save some of our heart patients an operation. And the next project, an innovative cardiac ultrasound device, is also already waiting to be realized: we still need around 60,000 euros, which we hope to raise around Easter. The interior design for the New Hauner is also a major concern for us: After all, the most modern children's hospital in Europe, whose foundation stone was laid on March 11 in the presence of Bavarian Minister President Dr. Markus Söder and Science Minister Markus Blume here at the Großhadern campus, naturally also needs a child-friendly interior design for the patient rooms, examination rooms and emergency room. We are constantly working on this."
