On March 11, 2025, cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Vasily Vasilyevich Balakhov carefully reviewed my medical records and determined that recanalization and stenting of my right coronary artery (RCA) was the best course of action. He explained his decision clearly, emphasizing that open-heart surgery would have been too risky for me. His thorough and patient communication left me fully confident in his plan. Thanks to Dr. Balakhov’s expertise and the skill of his cardiology team, the procedure was successfully performed on March 12. My health has improved dramatically. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Balakhov and his colleagues! Pyotr Yuryevich Shchegolev, Cherepovets
