CABG–RCA, CABG–OM (LCx), and LIMA–LAD bypass grafting were performed under cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegia. The surgery was successful. The doctor was always available, attentive to the patient, and explained the rehabilitation process step by step.

I was a patient of Vasily Vasilyevich and underwent surgery at the Pirogov Clinic in St. Petersburg. His professional attitude and expertise inspire confidence and calmness, which contributes to faster recovery. I liked everything—from our first meeting to the final farewell. He was always accessible and provided a professional, individualized approach to every concern. The doctor examined me and asked about my condition and the effects of the medications every day.

I was greatly troubled by shortness of breath and heart pain. I went to a clinic, from where I was sent for coronary angiography. The doctors reviewed the results and said that heart surgery (coronary artery bypass surgery) was necessary. I was sent to St. Petersburg. Here, at the Clinic of High Medical Technologies, I received a warm welcome. Everything was explained and shown to me. My surgeon was Gleb Irlamovich Kim, a wonderful doctor who is very polite and pleasant. He explained everything before the operation. I liked everything very much. After the surgery, I feel excellent. I recommend Gleb Irlamovich as a highly qualified specialist. After the operation, he regularly monitored me and changed my dressings—in general, he helped me get back on my feet very quickly. What I liked: The food, the attitude toward patients, and the care.

From March 20 to March 24, I was hospitalized at the Pirogov Clinic in the cardiac surgery department (for heart rhythm restoration). My attending physician was Vasily Vasilyevich Balakhonov. I would like to sincerely thank him for his highest professionalism and kind attitude. I wish him continued professional success and the fulfillment of everything he has planned. Many thanks.

Two years ago I underwent heart surgery at the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka. The operation was complex, and since then I have been under the care of Vera Valeryevna for follow-up. Thank you to those who recommended her. She is a wonderful, compassionate, and attentive doctor. Appointments always begin on time. She is a doctor and a person with a capital “D.” Thank you very much for her work. I recommend her to all my acquaintances. What I liked: The way she conducts appointments and prescribes further treatment. I liked everything.
