Why Beijing Anzhen Hospital Matters

Anzhen Hospital is one of Beijing's two flagship cardiovascular centres (with Fuwai) and the National Clinical Research Center for Cardiovascular Diseases (Beijing). It is particularly known for aortic surgery — its Type-A and Type-B aortic dissection programme is one of the world's highest-volume — and for adult congenital heart disease. The cardiac surgical team performs more than 10,000 procedures annually with strong outcomes data published in international cardiothoracic journals.

How China MedPass Helps (Typical Pathway)

  1. 1

    Case review

    You share your records (existing imaging, lab results, problem summary). We review with our coordinating physician and identify the right specialist.

  2. 2

    Hospital & specialist matching

    We match you to the hospital and senior-attending-level specialist whose expertise actually fits your specific clinical question — not a generic outpatient slot.

  3. 3

    Appointment booking

    We secure the appointment, send you a preparation pack covering documents, payment, what to bring, and confirm the bilingual escort schedule.

  4. 4

    On-site bilingual escort

    Your escort meets you at the hospital, handles registration and communication in Mandarin, attends the consultation with you, and makes sure nothing gets lost in translation.

  5. 5

    Report translation & DICOM collection

    We deliver a structured English report (ICD-10 coded, physician-signed) plus DICOM imaging files on USB or via secure download, ready for your home doctor.

  6. 6

    Follow-up coordination

    30-day follow-up window — we coordinate clarifications with the hospital, optional physician-to-physician calls, and any additional documentation your home team requests.
