The doctors of the Heart Institute – cardiologist of the Department of Surgical Treatment of Acquired Heart Defects Maria Hassanzade and cardiologist of the Department of Myocardial Pathology and Transplantation of Organs and Tissues Anton Shpachuk – returned from an internship under the Medevac program, which took place on the basis of the Center for Cardiovascular and Transplantation Surgery of the city of Brno in the Czech Republic.
During the internship, our specialists gained invaluable experience in conducting heart transplants and mini-access operations. Transesophageal echocardiography skills have been improved before and during operations, which will enrich the practice and improve outcomes.
We express our sincere gratitude to our Czech colleagues for their willingness to share their experiences and promote the exchange of knowledge.
