Center of Cardiovascular Surgery and Interventional Cardiology
at the N.I. Pirogov Clinic of High Medical Technologies of St. Petersburg State University
Last August, I underwent stent placement, but after some time my condition began to deteriorate. On June 15, 2026, I contacted the coordinator and sent in my medical records, and I was immediately called in. On July 21, I was admitted to the cardiac surgery department. I first underwent additional examinations, and on July 28 I had surgery. I was never left without attention, either before or after the operation. Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov was my cardiac surgeon and also helped me afterward. Recovery was quick. I now feel well, although the incisions are still slightly painful. Alexey Alexandrovich constantly talked to me about how to behave and how to recover, cared for me, and changed my dressings. He is a talented doctor and a wonderful person. Many thanks to him personally and to the entire team!

I suffered two heart attacks in 2014 and had stents placed, which helped a lot. But in 2026, my condition became much worse: sweating, shortness of breath, and fatigue. More stents were placed, but they did not help. I was referred to the Pirogov Center for surgery. On July 24, I arrived at the clinic. It turned out that my heart was in such a condition that the operation could not be postponed, and on July 28 I underwent surgery on an urgent, life-saving basis. They practically brought me back to life. I am deeply grateful personally to Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov, as well as to the entire staff of this department. Alexey Alexandrovich took part in my operation, then explained everything to me afterward, visited me often, and examined me. Now I am being discharged and feel excellent. I would like to wish him happiness, health, professional growth, family well-being, and all the very best. Thank you for my life!

I ended up undergoing heart surgery unexpectedly. I came to the clinic for cancer surgery, but during the examination it was discovered that my heart problems had to be addressed first. Many thanks to the entire cardiac surgery department, and especially to Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov. I underwent valve replacement and bypass surgery within a very short time. Alexey Alexandrovich was by my side at every stage. He explained everything very clearly, and I felt no fear before the operation at all. The surgery was complex, but everything went wonderfully. I spent three days in intensive care and then continued recovering in the department. Now I am being discharged and feel excellent. From the bottom of my heart, I thank Alexey Alexandrovich. He is a wonderful specialist. I wish him all the best!

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.
