We discussed a lot of issues at the meeting and are very pleased with our work,” – told Stanislav.Let us remind that the major advantage of interventional methods of treatment is in absence of direct surgical intervention that significantly reduces the risk of serious postoperative complications. By primary balloon angioplasty and coronary artery stenting cardiologists can now save those patients who considered to be hopeless just a few years ago.Nowadays the entire spectrum of modern catheter techniques for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases including coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, congestive heart failure is performed in Tyumen Cardiology Center.
