I was admitted to the Pirogov Clinic with diagnoses of ischemic heart disease, angina, and very high cardiovascular risk, for planned CABG surgery. My case was complex and carried high surgical risks. Despite this, cardiac surgeon Ruslan Yusufovich Kappushev agreed to perform the operation after thorough evaluation. He also performed coronary angiography and explained all the risks and details. The surgery went well without complications. During my stay, he was very attentive, frequently checked on my recovery, gave advice, and supported me both practically and emotionally. I am very grateful to him for taking on my case. He is a true professional and a wonderful person. What I liked: Professionalism and genuine care for patients.

We would like to express our deep gratitude to the cardiac surgery department of the Pirogov Clinic on Fontanka (St. Petersburg State University). According to the diagnosis, my father had multivessel coronary artery disease, progressing heart failure, and a high risk of complications from ischemic heart disease. The clinic organized hospitalization in the shortest possible time and performed open-heart and thoracic aorta surgery (CABG). Thanks to the highly qualified doctors, the operation and the initial recovery period in the hospital were successful. We would like to thank the group of doctors who worked directly with my father, especially the operating cardiac surgeon Ruslan Yusufovich Kappushev. Despite his busy schedule, he found time for a personal conversation and explained everything clearly regarding my father’s recovery. What I liked: Efficiency, competence, friendliness of doctors and staff, cleanliness of the wards, and good food.

I was referred to Ruslan Yusufovich from my local clinic with a suspected diagnosis of an aneurysm of the ascending aorta. The doctor welcomed me kindly during the consultation, explained the diagnosis in detail, reassured me, and made it clear that it was not a sentence but a problem that could be treated. He determined and explained the necessary course of examinations and provided a detailed plan for further actions. I completed all the required examinations under his supervision, after which the diagnosis was confirmed and surgery was recommended. Ruslan Yusufovich arranged for me to be placed on the surgical waiting list, which I successfully waited through. He personally assisted during the operation, which went perfectly. After the surgery, he visited me personally and accompanied me to procedures and examinations. Many thanks to Ruslan Yusufovich for his professionalism and his incredible life energy, which inspires everyone around him. What I liked: Professional approach, sincere attention, and an optimistic attitude.
