Patients are assisted by multidisciplinary teams consisting of cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and anesthesiologists.

Specialized teams for treating pulmonary embolism operate in the capital. These specialists provide patients with fast and high-quality care.

“In Moscow, patients are helped by multidisciplinary teams of cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and anesthesiologists. Additional teams trained in the new method are already present in all shock centers across the city. The largest number of procedures have been performed by specialists from City Clinical Hospital No. 1 and the Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Care,” wrote the Mayor of Moscow.

Sobyanin explains how pulmonary embolism patients are treated in Moscow

Pulmonary embolism is an acute condition where blood clots block the pulmonary vessels. It is extremely dangerous, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial.

Doctors in the capital use modern endovascular systems that allow selective thrombolysis with ultrasound navigation—an innovative and minimally invasive EKOS technology.

The medication is delivered directly into the clot, while ultrasound accelerates its breakdown, making the process faster and more effective. This approach reduces the dose of thrombolytics and lowers the risk of complications.

Since the technology was introduced, over 20 procedures have been performed in Moscow hospitals. Later, the experience of the capital’s medical institutions may be adopted by healthcare facilities in other regions of Russia.
