I experienced pain under my arm, which worsened at work, accompanied by sweating and shortness of breath. An ECG led to coronary angiography at a Smolensk cardiology hospital, where my unique vascular anatomy made stenting impossible. I was referred to St. Petersburg for surgery. At the Pirogov Clinic, my attending physician, Gleb Irlamovich Kim, performed an exceptionally complex procedure and provided excellent postoperative care. Thank you, Dr. Kim, for your expertise and dedication!

My 79-year-old father required complex cardiac surgery. Initially recommended for bypass surgery, advanced diagnostics at the Pirogov Clinic revealed the need for dual heart valve replacement. Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov, his cardiothoracic surgeon, secured urgent surgical quotas and led a skilled team in performing open-heart surgery. The ICU and postoperative care were impeccable. The nursing staff was kind and attentive, and Dr. Filippov provided clear explanations throughout. The best surgeons in the city work here. Thank you, Dr. Filippov, for giving my father a new lease on life!

On August 26, I suffered a heart attack. At a hospital in Smolensk, an attempt was made to perform stenting, which could not be fully completed. I was referred to centers in Moscow and St. Petersburg. After a telemedicine consultation with the Pirogov Clinic, I agreed to undergo surgery. Given my kidney cancer diagnosis and the risk of metastasis during surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass, Gleb Irlamovich, the operating surgeon, decided to perform beating-heart surgery. The procedure was far more complex than standard cardiac surgery but was successful. I am extremely satisfied! Postoperatively, I felt excellent in the ICU, unlike after a previous peritonitis surgery at another hospital. Thank you, Gleb Irlamovich, and best wishes in your work! I highly recommend him!

I suddenly developed chest pain after walking 50 meters. At the hospital, an ECG was taken, and I was urgently transferred to Bryansk. Coronary angiography revealed the need for cardiac surgery, and I was rushed by ambulance to the Pirogov Clinic. Upon arrival, Gleb Irlamovich Kim performed emergency coronary bypass surgery, saving my life! I am deeply grateful to him for his care, postoperative monitoring, and rehabilitation guidance. I highly recommend this outstanding specialist!

I came from another city and I am very glad that I was able to get a quota for treatment at this clinic! Initially, I was going for a major operation, but additional examinations were already carried out on the spot, and it turned out that this operation was contraindicated for me. As a result, stenting was performed, and I noticed an improvement in my condition the very next day! I would especially like to thank Doctor Ilshat Shamilevich — he is an excellent doctor. He performed stenting and prescribed medication for me. He always finds time for each patient, pays due attention to him and clearly explains how the treatment is going on. The patient does not feel abandoned and lost, they will explain to you what they plan to do and why, and if they do not understand something, they will answer your questions. Being treated by Ilshat Shamilevich, you can be sure that you are in safe hands. Thank you very much!
