News in the field of treatment of atrial fibrillation
Specialists believe that the elimination of atrial fibrillation is the most complex operation. Even heart transplantation is easier. Center named after A.N.Bakuleva most often treats this disease with the help of bloodless catheter surgery. The operation is done in the initial stage of the disease through an incision made on the thigh. But they can be produced only while the valves of the heart are still healthy. In addition, precise diagnosis is required, which in the case of atrial fibrillation is a very complex process. Nevertheless, this method, developed by Academician Revishvili, is unique today.
But in the scientific center named after A.N.Bakilev, Dr. Leo Bokeria developed another method of diagnosis and treatment of this disease, called "Labyrinth-3."Cryotechnologies are used instead of a scalpel. The operating place undergoes deep cooling. In practice, however, it turned out to be very complicated, and its inventor Leo Bockeria spent several years to facilitate the operation technology and make it understandable for other cardiologists. And here a few days ago the doctor showed in practice his simplified, though not an easy way to treat the disease.
The whole process of the operation took place in front of the TV cameras. The first time permission was given to shoot from the very beginning to the end of the operational process. She was specially invited by Leo Bokeria to media representatives. The talented surgeon was sure that the "cryo" method used by him is absolutely reliable and guarantees the cure for atrial fibrillation. In addition, the doctor is convinced that heart surgery is done better in the Bakulev Center than in other clinics of this kind in Russia and abroad.
Operations, like those conducted by Dr. Bokeria, are very expensive in other clinics. People, to go abroad for treatment, spend huge money, but the disease is very often returned. Center named after A.N.Bakuleva becomes their last hope for them. The price of the operation by the method of Bokeria is 204,000 rubles. And most importantly, it is produced at the expense of the state budget. Absolute majority of patients undergoing treatment at the Scientific Center of Cardiovascular Surgery are state employees. Some patients pay their treatment through sponsorship funds, and only a few contribute money for the operation themselves.
