My mission
Everything I know and can do to heal and transform the world into a more humane one.
My Story
All my life, I have been working on the connection between different pieces of knowledge and skills. I am a Ph.D. and a Doctor of Science in medicine. I studied medicine, law, management, a little music, and tai-chi, I was working as a fitness trainer IT specialist, and I could even fly a light sports aircraft. When I graduated from medical university, my dad took holding my hands to teach me all motions and tricks in the cath lab operating room. He was a great artist in interventional cardiology, one of Russia’s pioneers in this field, a philosopher, and a teacher. Now I am co-founder of the first in Russia non-invasive incision-less MRGFUS neurosurgery center named after my father.

– Balloon valvuloplasty (CHD)
– Atrioseptostomia (CHD or ideopathic pulmonary hypertension)
– LAA closure
2. Coronary interventions:
