Doctors at the Tatarstan Republican Clinical Hospital faced a life‑and‑death case when a man suffering a heart attack experienced cardiac arrest repeatedly. The hospital team acted quickly to stabilize him, drawing on all available resuscitation methods to keep him alive during a crisis that threatened his entire system.
The patient, a 49‑year‑old man, was brought to the hospital from a district clinic after a sudden drop in blood pressure and a collapse of the heart rhythm, events that required immediate life‑saving intervention. In the emergency department, clinicians initiated resuscitation to restore circulation and breathing, working with speed and precision to prevent further deterioration.
Following the initial resuscitative efforts, the medical team moved the patient into the operating room for urgent intervention. The hospital confirmed that the patient’s heart stopped on 16 separate occasions from the moment he arrived until the conclusion of surgery, and resuscitation was performed each time to revive him. He remained under close observation in the hospital for a week after the operation.
During the procedure, the clinicians placed a stent using a minimally invasive approach through a low‑access technique, and two stents were ultimately deployed to support the patient’s coronary blood flow. After a period of careful recovery, the patient was discharged in good health, with the care team expressing optimism for his continued well‑being and recovery at home.
The hospital representative noted that the medical staff’s efforts were aimed at ensuring the patient could live a long and healthy life, reflecting the high level of expertise and coordinated care available at the facility.
Earlier reports indicated that physicians from another regional medical center, known for oncology services, provided care to a separate patient in this same year, underscoring the breadth of medical expertise available within the region.
