In Shymkent, an operation to install a stent-graft for a patient with heart insufficiency was performed for the first time. The major surgery was performed by doctors of the National scientific cardiac surgery center from Nur-Sultan, Marat Aripov and Viktor Zemlyansky. This was reported by specialists of the city Health Directorate
Qualified specialists surgically installed a stent graft in two patients with aortic aneurysm and thoracic aortic aneurysm. A special tube that normalizes the opening in the aorta is called a stent graft in medicine. This disease occurs due to complications of cardiovascular diseases.
If earlier patients with an aneurysm or aortic dissection were sent by doctors to a special destination in the city of Nur-Sultan, now, thanks to the exchange of experience, as a result of the operation, they have mastered the technique of installing a stand-graft from qualified specialists. Local experts say that after the master class, they can perform such operations independently.
According to doctors, installing a stent graft is the mildest method for treating a patient with an aortic aneurysm.
It is worth noting that this operation is free for every citizen of the country within the guaranteed volume of medical care.
