Alexey Vasilev

My mom and I came to the clinic in a rather serious condition. Mom is 80 years old, diagnosis: "degenerative heart disease, grade 3 aortic stenosis with aortic insufficiency". In addition, a concomitant disease — "multiple myeloma". Acquaintances recommended that we see specifically Alexey Sergeyevich Vasilyev as a TAVI specialist. At the first appointment Alexey Sergeyevich explained our situation and the plan of action before the operation in detail. He was very attentive and immediately won us over. Mom said: "I am ready to trust this doctor". Then, following his recommendations, all the necessary examinations, tests and the operation were carried out. I recommend Alexey Sergeyevich to everyone, he is a true professional and a true doctor! The team of doctors of the cardiac surgery department of the N. I. Pirogov clinic. They carried out all the necessary preoperative examinations and scheduled the operation taking the tests into account (this was very important for us, since there is a concomitant oncological disease). The transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI) was successfully performed by cardiovascular surgeon Alexey Sergeyevich Vasilyev! Implantation of a permanent endocardial pacemaker was also performed by surgeon Andrey Alexandrovich Sorokin. Many thanks to Alexey Sergeyevich and Andrey Alexandrovich for their work, for prolonging the lives of people, our loved ones! It is so important when a doctor not only takes responsibility, but also says words of support and gives hope! Throughout the preparation and after the operation we were accompanied by the attending physician Larisa Yuryevna Kalashnikova. I would like to note her attentive attitude towards a patient of such advanced age. She explained very patiently and clearly everything the doctors were doing, and this really calmed mom, and she went to the operation completely without fear. This is very important! And in general, many thanks to all the staff of the department. Everyone is very friendly and attentive! A professional, humane and attentive approach!
