Slowly but surely, Klinik Floridsdorf is taking on a leading role in the field of surgery. Last week, a new high-tech pacemaker was implanted for the first time in Austria - a milestone. 

A pacemaker is inserted around 600 times a year in the hospitals of the Vienna Health Network. The specialists from Klinik Floridsdorf have a hand in around half of these.
