About a year ago Mykola Petrovych had a heart attack. The man was treated medically, but this did not help to minimize the negative consequences of the disease. The war caused even more stress and significantly affected the health of Mykola Petrovych. Even with minimal physical exertion, the man felt chest pain every time.

After meeting with Andriy Basatskyi, a vascular surgeon at Dobrobut, it was decided to perform surgery to stent the coronary vessels.

Surgery was difficult due to severe vascular lesions (chronic occlusion) and overweight of the patient. People weighing more than 110 kilograms will often be denied surgery. But the team of surgeons of Dobrobut decided not to retreat and successfully performed the operation.

The very next day Mykola Petrovychh felt much better, the pain disappeared and the man was discharged from hospital treatment to his home.

Mykola Petrovych's operation at Dobrobut was performed free of charge, as well as for the hundreds of other patients, thanks to cooperation with the Direct Relief International Foundation.
