I had problems with my mitral valve and required open-heart surgery. The day before the operation, Alexey Alexandrovich Filippov discussed all my concerns with me and clearly explained the surgery and the recovery process afterward. Since the valve could not be preserved, it had to be replaced with a prosthetic valve. Alexey Alexandrovich explained the differences between mechanical and biological prosthetic valves. Since I had previously suffered strokes, he recommended a biological prosthesis, and I agreed with him. The operation was successful, and I was transferred to the ward very quickly. Alexey Alexandrovich visited me often, changed my dressings, and monitored the healing of the wound. Everything went very quickly and smoothly. Thank you very much!
