Ventricular septal defect (VSD) treatment is available at Leech Private Clinic in Graz, Austria. Basic laboratory tests for cardiac screening may cost around $300. The clinic is a member of the Association of Private Hospitals in Austria and holds EN ISO 9001:2015 accreditation.
The clinic provides rapid imaging and testing to assess heart defects. Patients have access to on-site CT scans and X-rays for immediate results. Evaluation is typically led by specialists like Dr. Andreas Dorr, who focuses on internal medicine and angiology. The diagnostic process helps determine the size and location of the defect before surgery.
The primary treatment is surgical repair under general anesthesia. Surgeons perform this procedure in a modern operating theatre. The clinic provides 24-hour care by trained doctors and nurses. After surgery, patients move to the Intermediate Care Unit (IMCU) for close monitoring. This ensures a safe transition during the first hours of recovery.
Recovery starts immediately with excellent pain management protocols. The clinic provides in-house physiotherapy to help patients regain strength. For long-term recovery, the facility cooperates with the Laßnitzhöhe rehabilitation clinic. Patients receive an individual cost estimation for the full treatment plan to help with financial planning.

Privatklinik Leech, founded in 1973, is a private surgical clinic in the centre of Graz, the capital of Styria in southern Austria. It belongs to SANLAS Holding, a Styrian healthcare group founded in 1980 that today runs twelve health facilities across rehabilitation, care, prevention, acute medicine and surgery. Leech works as a "Belegarzt" clinic: patients are treated by the specialist of their choice from a team of around 100 doctors, who use the clinic's operating theatres, nursing team and infrastructure. With 44 beds in single and double rooms, three operating theatres and a round-the-clock recovery unit, the clinic combines a broad surgical range with the comfort and personal atmosphere of a small private hospital in the heart of the city.
The clinic covers almost every surgical field apart from obstetrics, including:
Dental treatment under general anaesthesia is also available.
Several of the clinic's procedures address cancer, including breast-conserving operations for breast tumours, the treatment of eye tumours, and the removal of skin moles and tumours with subsequent pathological assessment. The clinic also offers gastroscopy and colonoscopy, internal medicine with cardiology, angiology and gastroenterology, neurology, dermatology and interventional pain therapy. On-site computed tomography and X-ray support fast and accurate diagnosis.
A dedicated day clinic allows many treatments to be carried out in a single day, without an overnight stay, including:
Every room is equipped with:
Wireless patient monitoring is available in every room for safety after an operation. Patients also have access to a cafeteria, a lounge and a quiet garden courtyard.
The clinic settles accounts directly with many statutory and all Austrian private insurers, as well as numerous foreign insurance providers. Self-paying patients from Austria and abroad receive an individual quotation in advance, so they can decide on treatment with full cost certainty. Patients who need rehabilitation afterwards can continue their recovery at the group's rehabilitation clinic in nearby Laßnitzhöhe.
