Magdalena University Hospital for Cardiovascular Diseases
Magdalena is internationally accredited University Hospital for Cardiovascular Diseases, founded in 1996. It is located at two sites; Magdalena Polyclinic in the heart of the Croatian capital Zagreb and Magdalena Hospital, a 100-bed facility located in the county Zagorje, only 45km from Zagreb. Our unique value proposition arises from uniting cardiology, cardiac and vascular surgery, anesthesiology, ICU and telemedicine under the same roof. With close collaboration of those departments and everyday teamwork, we provide an exclusive continuity of patient journey, encompassing every step from prevention, diagnostics and treatment to out-of-hospital monitoring. Magdalena University Hospital and its physicians are among the best in their field. They have years of experience gained in Croatia and abroad and use the most advanced medical equipment to provide patients with the highest quality treatment and maximum comfort. Magdalena is a part of Croatia’s primary percutaneous coronary intervention network, meaning that urgent coronary interventions are performed 24 hours a day for patients with acute myocardial infarction.
With its long tradition, Magdalena is one of the leading regional centers for cardiovascular diseases. Up to date, we treated almost 90,000 patients, with more than 11,000 cardiovascular surgeries and 17,000 percutaneous coronary interventions. This great experience is a guarantee of a minimal complication rate that we are very proud of.

Carotid angioplasty is a treatment for carotid artery disease – a procedure performed on carotid arteries when they become clogged or narrowed by an atherosclerotic plaque. The procedure involves the placement of an antiembolic protection filter past the narrowing, followed by the placement of a nitinol-stent at the level of the narrowing. The stent maintains the artery open and prevents it from narrowing again. Carotid angioplasty is an alternative to open surgery, being used when the traditional surgical procedures are not feasible or pose a high risk.
Chronic mesenteric ischemia is a rare afection, wich in 95% of cases is caused by difuse atherosclerosis ( fats accumulation in your blood vessels walls, leading to their narrowing wich decrease the flow of blood to the bowel). Disease’ s progression is associated with more striking symptoms. Almost half of patients present simultaneous the affecting of heart’s blood vessels, but also peripheral artery disease.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common condition in which a build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries restricts blood supply to leg muscles. It is also known as peripheral vascular disease (PVD).
More than 600,000 knee-replacement surgeries are done in the United States every year, and as Baby Boomers continue to age, some say that figure will grow to 1 million within the next decade. Patients are increasingly choosing an option that allows doctors to build their patient’s knees.
Less than a year ago, climbing a flight of stairs would have been impossible for Amanda Fair-Evans. “I couldn’t even get out of the car, and I was like, ‘What is this?’” Fair-Evans said. The pain in her left knee was unbearable. Fair-Evans tried medication and cortisone shots and finally begged her doctor for surgery. “I have no quality of life,” Fair-Evans recalled saying. “I have grandkids and I want to play with my grandkids. Please give me a new knee.”
Dr. Mathew Pombo, an orthopedic surgeon, felt Fair-Evans would be a great candidate for a personalized replacement knee. A standing CT scan of a patient’s leg captures the alignment, followed by a three-dimensional printing process. “We can input components into the computer and print off a specific femur and a specific tibia that fits the bone perfectly,” Pombo said. It takes about six weeks for a medical company to create the custom knee. During surgery, doctors remove the damaged joint. Then, using individually designed tools, surgeons insert the new joint and cement it in. “It’s basically like putting a train on perfectly aligned train tracks,” Pombo said. “It should wear better.”
Five months later, Fair-Evans had her other knee replaced. Now she’s back to the things she loves to do. “(I’m) taking long walks, playing with my grandkids and dancing,” Fair-Evans said. “I haven’t danced in a long time.” Pombo said there is a faster recovery, less blood loss and easier range of motion when patients have the personalized 3D knee surgery.
