In the Vladimir region due to malfunction of angiographs changed the routing of patients

In the Vladimir region, several medical institutions temporarily do not use angiographic complexes due to equipment maintenance. In particular, both angiographs are being examined and serviced at the Regional Clinical Hospital. At the same time, the regional Ministry of Health said that emergency and planned care for patients with cardiovascular diseases continues in full.

According to the agency, patients who require emergency care are sent to the Regional Clinical Emergency Medical Center. Regional vascular centers in Murom and Kovrov are used for planned treatment. In addition, there are working angiographs in the Central City Hospital of Kovrov and the First Clinical Medical Center.

Information about problems with the equipment appeared after reports of failure of the second angiograph in OKB. During the year, malfunctions also occurred in other medical institutions in the region. The Ministry of Health stressed that reports of restriction of care do not correspond to official information on the current routing of patients.
