Crimean Surgeons Save Life in Rare Open-Heart Emergency Surgery
A man was admitted to the Crimean Central District Hospital with severe chest injuries, including wounds to the heart and lung.
Surgeons at the hospital saved the patient's life after performing a complex two-hour open-heart surgery, according to a statement from the Kuban Ministry of Health.
Reports indicate that the man arrived at the emergency department with multiple chest injuries, including a heart wound, requiring immediate intervention. For two hours, surgeons fought to stabilize him, successfully performing an anterolateral thoracotomy—a procedure in which they sutured the heart and lung injuries.
"Our team carried out an extremely complex open-heart operation," said Vladimir Pavlyuchenko, head of the surgical department at the Crimean Central District Hospital. "Surgeries of this level are classified as high-tech medical care. The patient is now in satisfactory condition, has been discharged, and will soon be able to return to his normal routine."
