Principal Investigator of Academyian BV, created an application in Russia to assess the risk of postoperative complications in the treatment of patients with atherosclerosis. Petrovsky Ivan Vinokurov.
Atherosclerosis is a chronic focal lesion of the arteries with the growth of connective tissue and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, which narrow the lumen of the artery and cause a chronic, gradually increasing insufficiency of blood supply to the organ.
When helping patients with atherosclerosis, according to the specialist, surgeons are always faced with the question of which of the treatment methods is better for a particular patient. Everything worsens when there are other concomitant diseases, then there is a risk of postoperative complications. That’s why scientists have developed a calculator app to calculate risks.
“In the study, we obtained a statistical analysis of what types of operations and in what state of the body we experience certain complications. We turned these statistics into a calculator: we enter the patient’s data into the app and get recommendations about possible interventions and their sequence. The software helps the surgeon choose the operation with the least number of complications,” explained Vinokurov.
Although this practice is not widely used, it is currently being tested to evaluate its effectiveness.
