Timișoara Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (Romanian: Institutul de Boli Cardiovasculare) is the only public institute that provides complete cardiology medical care in western Romania,[1] serving a population of two million people.[2] It has 182 beds in all departments.[2]
It was established by Order of the Ministry of Public Health no. 1452 of 4 November 1993.[1] The first open heart surgery in Timișoara took place two years earlier, on 26 April 1991, by a surgical team headed by Ilie Pavelescu and composed of Marian Gașpar, Lucian Petrescu, Ovidiu Nuțu, Ion Țintoiu, and Ovidiu Brânzan (former Minister of Health).[3]
With the commissioning of the third building in 2011, the hospital has a capacity of 1,500 surgeries per year.[4]
