The Penza region was recognised as the best in operating angiographic installations. On 8 February 2018, Veronika Skvortsova, Minister of Healthcare of the Russian Federation, reported this at the meeting with regional authorities chaired by Olga Golodets, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation.
There are 2 angiographic complexes in Burdenko Penza Regional Clinical Hospital. The Federal Centre for Cardiovascular Surgery runs the same number of devices.
Angiographic installations are used for providing specialised medical care to patients with various vascular malformations. The device allows creating images of vessels located in vital organs in 3D format. Specialists have the opportunity to diagnose the development of vascular risks and, if necessary, to conduct surgical intervention for saving lives.
In 2017, 13632 diagnostic tests and 2990 surgical interventions were performed using angiographic devices in the Penza region. The power of each angiograph in Penza is calculated based on 4155 procedures conducted per year.
