Gulzhan underwent surgery to remove an aneurysm!

In June, Gulzhan developed severe heart pain, and the woman went to the clinic. Heart examinations revealed significant changes in the largest blood vessel - the aorta. It was greatly stretched in several places: at the exit from the heart and in the descending part, which carries blood to the internal organs below the heart. This change is called an aortic aneurysm. The disease turned out to be a complete surprise for Gulzhan. There were no signs of heart disease, except for slightly elevated blood pressure. After an online consultation with specialists from the A.N. Bakulev Center, it became clear that urgent surgery was required before the aneurysm ruptured. The cause of the change in Gulzhan's blood vessels was a rare genetic disease that was discovered in her - Marfan syndrome. Gulzhan flew to Moscow for emergency heart surgery. The ascending part of the aorta will have to be removed, a special prosthesis will be installed in its place and sewn to the heart. Let's help Gulzhan and ease her health condition. Her teenage son is waiting for her at home. He is currently in fourth grade.
