Univ.-Prof. Dr. Walter Klepetko leitet seit 2010 die Abteilung Thoraxchirurgie an der Medizinischen Universität Wien und hat das Wiener Lungentransplantationsprogramm aufgebaut, bei dem er 1989 die erste Lungentransplantation in Österreich durchführte. Seine Schwerpunkte umfassen die chirurgische Behandlung von Tumoren der Lunge und des Thorax sowie die Therapie von Lungenmetastasen und Speiseröhrentumoren. Sein operatives Spektrum reicht von minimal invasiven VATS-Eingriffen bis zu ausgedehnten Resektionen lokal fortgeschrittener Tumoren. Zudem widmet er sich der Behandlung funktioneller Lungenerkrankungen sowie Verengungen der Luftröhre und des Kehlkopfs, für die er ein eigenes Laryngotracheales Programm an der MedUni Wien etabliert hat. In seiner Ordination bietet Prof. Klepetko neben operativen Eingriffen Auskünfte, Beratungen und Zweitmeinungen an, stets interdisziplinär und unter Einbeziehung anderer Fachrichtungen.
