For more than ten years, the hospital has been performing operations to install a new aortic valve (implant). The procedure is carried out without significant skin incisions according to the TAVI method.

The low-traumatic TAVI technique allows the patient to quickly recover from the procedure and complete the rehabilitation process on the third day at the latest.

The department has such a progressive method as valve replacement according to Dr. Ozaki. It consists in installing a biological valve made from the pericardium of the operated person. Minimally invasive surgery of this kind has a number of advantages:
