Abstract

Abstract: Based on a voluntary registry, founded by the German Society for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (DGTHG) in 1980, well-defined but limited datasets of all cardiac and vascular surgery procedures performed in 78 German heart surgery departments are reported annually. For the year 2025, nearly all departments submitted a total of 181,988 procedures to the registry. Of these operations, 107,546 are defined as heart surgery procedures in a classical sense. The unadjusted in-hospital survival rate for the 29,267 isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures (relationship on-/off-pump 2.4:1) was 97.7%, 97.4% for the 48,167 isolated heart valve procedures (26,896 transcatheter interventions included) and 99.3% for 19,528 pacemaker/implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) procedures, respectively. Concerning short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support, a total of 3,109 ECLS/ECMO implantations and 867 ventricular assist device implantations (L-/R-/BVAD, TAH) were reported. In 2025, 358 isolated heart transplantations, 310 isolated lung transplantations, and 6 combined heart-lung transplantations were performed. This annually updated registry of the DGTHG represents non-risk adjusted voluntary public reporting, encompassing actual data for nearly all heart surgical procedures in Germany, indicating trends in heart medicine, and representing a basis for quality management (e.g., benchmark) for all participating institutions.

德国心脏外科报告2025：德国胸外科和心血管外科学会年度更新登记。

摘要：基于德国胸外科和心血管外科学会（DGTHG）于1980年建立的自愿登记，每年报告78个德国心脏外科部门进行的所有心脏和血管手术的明确但有限的数据集。在2025年，几乎所有部门总共向登记处提交了181,988份程序。在这些手术中，107,546例被定义为传统意义上的心脏手术。29267例离体冠状动脉旁路移植术（CABG）手术（开/停泵关系2.4:1）的未调整住院生存率为97.7%，48167例离体心脏瓣膜手术（包括26896例经导管干预）的未调整住院生存率为97.4%，19528例起搏器/植入式心律转复除颤器（ICD）手术的未调整住院生存率为99.3%。在短期和长期机械循环支持方面，共报告了3109例ECLS/ECMO植入和867例心室辅助装置植入（L-/R-/BVAD， TAH）。2025年进行了358例离体心脏移植，310例离体肺移植和6例心肺联合移植。DGTHG每年更新的注册表代表了非风险调整的自愿公开报告，包含了德国几乎所有心脏外科手术的实际数据，表明了心脏医学的趋势，并代表了所有参与机构的质量管理基础（例如基准）。
