Coronarography

I first came to the clinic to see a cardiologist because of heart pain and shortness of breath. I underwent stress echocardiography and coronary angiography, and based on the results, CABG surgery was indicated. The surgery was performed on March 19, 2026, and I recovered quickly afterward. The operation was performed with high quality. During the preoperative examination, it was also discovered that I had a problem with my carotid artery. When I was discharged, I was immediately given a referral for the next operation. I was hospitalized again on June 19, and on June 22 I underwent carotid artery surgery. The operation was successful, and by the evening I was already in the ward. Now I feel wonderful. I would like to say a big thank you to Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov. He participated in both of my operations, changed my dressings, and helped me recover. I will recommend this specialist to everyone. Excellent clinic, very polite and kind staff.

I suffered a heart attack in 2000 without realizing it at the time, and then in 2025 I had another heart attack. In February 2025, an echocardiogram showed a serious reduction in ejection fraction and scar changes in the myocardium. I was hospitalized in a cardiology department, where a stent was placed, but I did not feel better, and the ejection fraction remained just as low. I was helped only at the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka. I was hospitalized on June 9, 2026. An echocardiogram and coronary angiography were performed, and the results were discouraging — the damage was serious. Still, the decision was made to perform surgery. On June 11, I underwent surgery. The next day, I was transferred from the ICU to the ward, and recovery went quickly. Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov was always nearby. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, visited me, and changed my dressings. Many thanks to Alexey Alexandrovich for the excellent surgery, care, and attention. I will recommend this doctor to everyone. What I liked: The location, the attitude of all clinic staff, and the care.

I was admitted to the Pirogov Clinic with diagnoses of ischemic heart disease, angina, and very high cardiovascular risk, for planned CABG surgery. My case was complex and carried high surgical risks. Despite this, cardiac surgeon Ruslan Yusufovich Kappushev agreed to perform the operation after thorough evaluation. He also performed coronary angiography and explained all the risks and details. The surgery went well without complications. During my stay, he was very attentive, frequently checked on my recovery, gave advice, and supported me both practically and emotionally. I am very grateful to him for taking on my case. He is a true professional and a wonderful person. What I liked: Professionalism and genuine care for patients.

My pulse disappeared. I was admitted to a cardiology department and from there referred to the Pirogov Clinic. A coronary angiography was performed, which showed severe damage to the coronary arteries. That is how I came under the care of Gleb Irlamovich, a wonderful surgeon who operated on me. The surgery was performed completely and successfully. I feel excellent now. Thank you very much for saving my life! I wish you health and well-being, both professionally and in your family. Special thanks as well to Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov, his assistant, and to my attending physician Vasily Vasilyevich Balakhonov.

In 2024, my husband was examined for shortness of breath at a clinic in Vologda. Based on the results, he was assigned disability group II. In 2025 he had an appointment with a doctor who recommended that he undergo coronary angiography in St. Petersburg under the compulsory medical insurance program. This procedure was performed by the excellent doctor Gleb Irlamovich Kim, who later became my husband’s attending physician during valve replacement surgery. My husband notes his attentiveness, responsibility, kindness, and competence. Thank you very much, doctor! We hope that everything will gradually improve and that my husband’s health will get better.
