The list of diseases that we treat:
• heart defects of various etiologies in adult patients;
• ischemic heart disease and its complications;
• aneurysms and dissections of the thoracic and abdominal aorta;
• diseases of the great vessels;
• heart tumors;
• hypertrophic cardiomyopathy;
• constrictive pericarditis;
• complex heart rhythm disorders;
• other heart diseases.
List of main surgical interventions:
• operations on the heart valve apparatus, including their replacement (with mechanical and/or biological prostheses), or restoration of the function of the native valves, including through minimally invasive approaches;
• traditional coronary artery bypass grafting (using autoarterial and/or autovenous grafts) on a beating heart or under artificial circulation (including in acute coronary syndrome);
• combined interventions on the heart valves and coronary vessels;
• replacement of the ascending and arch aorta (including in combination with interventions on the heart valves and/or coronary arteries);
• operations on heart tumors;
• operations for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy;
• operations for constrictive pericarditis;
• surgical treatment of complex cardiac arrhythmias in combination with heart valve surgery and coronary artery bypass grafting;
• use of circulatory support systems in patients with severe circulatory failure.
The Adult Cardiac Surgery Department was established in 2022 on the basis of two departments of combined cardiac pathologies and reconstructive surgery of acquired heart defects. During its activity, this direction has achieved the highest results. Today, the department performs a wide range of separate and combined surgical interventions on the heart and great vessels, including patients over 80 years old with serious diseases.
The department consists of 40 beds. On average, more than 600 surgical interventions on the heart and great vessels are performed per year. For the first time in the republic, an artificial left ventricle was implanted in the department in 2023 to a patient with the last stage of heart failure. The department employs 3 doctors of medical sciences and 1 candidate of medical sciences.
