In our region, at the Regional Clinical Hospital, a surgery to replace a damaged heart valve was performed for the first time without opening the chest and causing cardiac arrest. This is modern technology that makes it possible to deliver the new valve to the heart through blood vessels. Among the experts who performed the surgery is Ivan Nikolayevich Starovorov, head of the cardiac surgery department at the Regional Clinical Hospital. He has been working here since 2004. During this time, more than 6,000 heart surgeries have been performed with his direct participation. In recent years, Ivan Nikolayevich has introduced a number of new methods for surgical heart treatment in the region. Among them are surgeries for the replacement and reconstruction of heart valves using low-trauma methods, as well as complex heart surgeries without stopping it. This has made it possible to expand treatment options for patients with severe diseases and shorten the post-operative recovery period. Ivan Nikolayevich is the author of more than 40 scientific publications and regularly speaks at Russian and international conferences. In addition, he travels to primary vascular centers and is part of the Disaster Medicine Center team, providing emergency care in the districts of the region. Behind such achievements are years of work, extensive experience, and responsibility for every patient. I thank Ivan Nikolayevich and all the cardiac surgeons of the Yaroslavl region for their high professionalism, dedication to their work, and thousands of saved lives. MAX channel of the region
