The hospital focuses on thoracic tumor and cardiovascular disease, and has mastered the diagnosis and treatment technology of cardiothoracic diseases with the widest spectrum and the most complete range of diseases in China. The annual number of outpatient and emergency visits exceeds 850000, surgery volume exceeds 20,000 cases. The proportion of Grade Ⅲ and Grade IV surgeries is more than 90%, ranking first in Shanghai hospitals. The hospital is good at the surgical treatment and lung transplantation of various chest diseases. The minimally invasive surgical technology is at the national advanced level. The amount of robotic chest surgery in Da Vinci has been ranked first in a single center in China for many consecutive years. In the earliest diagnosis of lung cancer, multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment, targeted treatment and immunotherapy cutting-edge technology, carry out the highest difficulty (level 4) respiratory endoscopic technology, take the lead in domestic ultrasonic bronchoscopy, fluorescent bronchoscopy, electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy, Haibo technology treatment of lung cancer, repeatedly lead the clinical related to lung cancer diagnosis and treatment guidelines. It takes a leading position on interventional therapy of complex coronary heart disease, comprehensive treatment of atrial fibrillation (radiofrequency ablation, left atrial appendage occlusion, anticoagulation and etc), interventional treatment of abnormal cardiopulmonary vascular structure, advanced cardiac pacing technique, end-stage heart failure and etc. The number of radiofrequency ablation surgeries of atrial fibrillation has been ranking NO.1 in the Asia-Pacific region for many years.
Shanghai Chest Hospital has the Shanghai Thoracic Oncology Research Institute, central laboratory, Cardiopulmonary Vascular Translational Research Center, bio-bank, National Drug Clinical Trial Institute and a high-tech transformation park. The hospital also undertakes the key research and development projects of Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China, national 863 key research projects and key projects of National Nature Science Foundation of China.
