Aleksan Bagrat Biography

Medicine Alexander Korolkov does not undertake to judge: whether this is a random coincidence, or it is specially planned, but it is on the eve of the seventy years of the outstanding Russian surgeon of the academician Bagrat Alekian that there is an officially stated: there is a specialty "X -ray, heart surgery of heart disease and blood vessels." The Prime Minister of Russia signed the relevant document.

From now on, the Higher Attestation Commission is ready to accept the dissertation in this specialty. Its main feature: interventions are held without incisions, without anesthesia, through small punctures under the control of x -rays in special operatives. Bagrat Alekan organized, built a very necessary, very important specialty, raised more than 60 wonderful students, many of whom are headed by departments and work at various points of our country and abroad.

I sometimes joking: "His students stick to Bagrat like bees on honey." And because this is a new direction in medicine, in surgery. But the most important thing is that he leads them after graduation. They are constantly gathering for the annual congresses organized by him, in which thousands of specialists from around the world participate. This is telling me a friend of the anniversary of friendship time 50 years!

And I’m even a little disappointing: recently they saw each other with Baght Gegamovich, talked. Including about the upcoming anniversary. And he did not say a word about the most important event in his life. I complain to Amiran Shotaevich, and he laughs: “This is Bagrat! For everyone, about all. About ourselves. We have been friends for half a century, working together and next to that for more than 40 years I worked in the Bakulevsky center.

And I worked there and my fate turned out so that we started and continued together.” She hid the resentment: after all, the days are anniversary. Bagrat, there were no doctors in your family. But you are Bagrat Alekan: we lived in Yerevan.

When I was ten years old, I was sick for three months, lay. Something happened to the leg. House neighbor, a doctor, was an amazing person. It can be said to me in me: the best profession is the treatment of people. And in the year he entered the Yerevan Medical Institute, which he graduated from the year. Of course, with a red diploma? Bagrat Alekan: Mistakes! I had a three by political economy.

Therefore, there was no question of red diploma. However, the outstanding scientist, surgeon, organizer, academician Vladimir Ivanovich Burakovsky in the year, just a year after you graduated from the university, took you to the Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery Bagrat smiles about this fact of his biography. The fact that he is incredibly proud of, considers fateful. He says that in his work book there are only two entries.

And to this day - the Institute named after Vishnevsky. After our intervention, the child comes to life in front of our eyes. Sinite leaves, the baby becomes pink. It can live, and not the most popular quality of life called fidelity in our rapid time, but, you see, attractive. With his future wife, Marina Bagrat studied from first grade at school. This year they are 70 years old.

And 50 years of life together - a golden wedding. The numbers are introduced into the conversation. Like without them! The time is not only rapid, it is also digital, even in healing. Bagrat Gegamovich makes in the year of heart operations, vessels. Do you remember the first operation? Bagrat Alekan: It was a year. Eight hours from birth were brought from the maternity hospital from the hospital.

The severe congenital heart disease, the transposition of the aorta and the pulmonary artery. Children with such a vice die in the first hours of life. In the year, American professor Cardiologist Ulyam Rashkin, for the first time in the world, conducted an endovascular operation to save the baby with such indications. And five years later I entrusted it to me.

I will not be about details. This is a completely amazing operation! Here was a crumb of just blue, barely alive. And after our intervention, the child comes to life in front of his eyes. The blue leaves, the baby becomes pink. Two months later, these children can do an open heart surgery. And then a normal life. Did the parents of that child thank you?

Bagrat Alekan: Such a technique for saving newborns with severe heart defect is used today. This is Bagrat: he is about what is more important for him, more significant. The direction at the source of which he stood in our country. He conducts mini-invasive operations, which, it would seem, is not very long in time. But their implementation requires the use of x -rays, which, of course, leaves an imprint on his health.

This is literally "Aliis InservienDo Consumor", which is translated from Latin: "Serving others, I burn myself." The specialty is called - "X -rayendovascular surgery." Bagrat helps patients, operating them through small punctures, instead of familiar cuts. Puts stents in the vessels, puts the valves of the heart. At this time, his patients are conscious and communicate with him.

Bagrat was the first to start in our country and even in the world to develop many complex heartfelt problems. For example, in our country began implantation of the aortic valve in a closed way.And this requires special virtuosity and meticulousness to do everything accurately and right. More than 95 percent of new operations of congenital malformations in children are made by Bagrat.

There are surgeons who operate only adults. There are surgeons who operate only in children. The hero of them is not one of them: he operates both of them. Yes, it must be saved. But still, this is already familiar. Normal work. What are you experiencing? Bagrat Alekan: Throck. Even with any standard operation. And before each operation is a detailed conversation with the patient himself, his close, with the parents of children, the mother of the same baby saved by you gave me the contents of your conversation with her Bagrat Alekan: this is absolutely necessary.

This is my duty. Otherwise, you can't! And if the patient - the child needs to explain everything, say about possible risks. Decision after the patient. And if not everything was succeeded, can you fall asleep after such an operation? Bagrat Alekan: I can't. Even if I know that I did everything that I could, that I could not.
