Treatment at the Teknon Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases is carried out by an interdisciplinary team of specialists in the following areas: cardiology, cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, electrophysiology and arrhythmia, interventional cardiology, and cardiovascular rehabilitation.
Medical and surgical procedures are performed in a hybrid operating room. This is a high-tech operating unit, which can simultaneously perform open, minimally invasive, and endovascular interventions of any complexity.
X-ray angiographic devices, CT and MR tomographs, and ultrasound scanners are united by a common control. During operations, cardiac surgeons use videography, angiography, fluorescent navigation, and CT imaging. This ensures the accuracy and minimal invasiveness of all manipulations.
In this operating room, several interventions can be performed on the patient during one anesthesia. For example, stenting of coronary vessels during open surgery on the aorta. Or balloon angioplasty with coronary artery bypass grafting and valve repair. The result of the operation is checked immediately, on the spot, using angiography, echocardiography, and other studies.
In Teknon, aortocoronary bypass grafting on a beating heart, operations without blood transfusions, and endovascular (using catheterization of blood vessels) prosthetics of an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta are put on stream (this approach reduces the risk of postoperative complications). Heart and vascular surgeries on patients who have been rejected by other clinics due to increased complexity are performed in Teknon.
