In December 2024, I had a stroke. After detailed examinations and consultations with a cardiologist, I was transferred to a regional cardiology center, where a coronary angiography revealed severe heart disease. Due to arrhythmia and chronic angina, I was advised to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery. I was offered clinics in Moscow and St. Petersburg. I chose St. Petersburg. In January 2025, during a consultation with Dr. Dmitry Shmatov, the operation was confirmed and quickly scheduled.Upon arrival, further tests were conducted. Dr. Gleb Kim explained clearly that open-heart surgery would carry high risks. I underwent successful coronary stenting. Dr. Kim monitored me post-surgery and gave detailed discharge instructions. Breathing became easier, and the angina disappeared. I truly appreciated his kindness, professionalism, and attentiveness. Yuri Golubev, Kostroma

This year, I started experiencing severe chest pain—even while resting. I couldn’t do any physical activity. I first went to a hospital in Vologda, where they told me they couldn’t perform a stenting procedure and that I would need major open-heart surgery. I was referred to St. Petersburg, where Dr. Gleb Irlamovich Kim treated me. He’s an incredibly knowledgeable specialist—thank you so much! During testing, they discovered I had cardiomyopathy, and open-heart surgery would have been too risky. Dr. Kim coordinated everything and made sure I could get a coronary artery stent instead. I’m feeling great now! He’s not only an excellent doctor but a wonderful person. He also gave me detailed instructions and recommendations to follow at home.

My father was admitted to Pirogov Clinic’s cardio surgery department on February 19 and underwent a highly complex heart surgery that same day. The postoperative recovery was smooth, with no complications. Dr. Gleb Irlamovich Kim was outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. During daily rounds, he always took time to check on my father’s progress. We are deeply grateful for his dedication and wish him continued professional success and good health!

After stenting my right coronary artery failed to resolve the issue, I was referred to Pirogov Clinic in St. Petersburg. Dr. Gleb Irlamovich Kim, a highly skilled surgeon, performed my operation. His expertise made all the difference — I noticed improvements even while in the ICU! Today, I feel well and am ready to return to work. My deepest thanks to Dr. Kim for his exceptional care.

Thirteen years ago, I had a heart attack and was taking medication. But on December 16, 2024, I suddenly felt unwell. I was taken to a […] hospital, where they performed a coronary angiography and planned to place a stent. However, they said that coronary artery bypass surgery was necessary and offered me a choice between two clinics in Moscow and St. Petersburg. I chose St. Petersburg. The Pirogov Clinic in St. Petersburg promptly responded that they were ready to perform the surgery. I was called in for the procedure, and I arrived. The surgery was performed by Gleb Irlamovich Kim and was a success! At the moment, I feel great. In addition to the surgery, Gleb Irlamovich monitored my condition, provided recommendations, and even gave me a book with post-operative guidelines. I am extremely grateful to him! A wonderful specialist! I highly recommend him to everyone!
