Moscow - Saba:
Work is underway in Moscow to open a medical complex within the "Vishnevsky" Center for Surgery and Scientific Research, in which the "radio knife" device developed to treat heart diseases without surgical intervention, Russian media sources reported on Thursday.
"Russia Today" correspondent Sami Abu Diab visited the complex and reviewed its departments and technologies, and met with the director of the "Vishnevsky" Center, Amiran Revishvili, who told him about the complex, its importance, and the "radio knife" device developed by Russian scientists to be used in treating some heart diseases without the need for surgical operations.
"Heart rhythm disorder is a serious disease, so we discussed with a group of Russian scientists and physicists the possibility of developing the radio knife device used to treat tumors, to use it in treating some heart diseases without surgical intervention," Revishvili said at the interview.
"We are currently conducting clinical trials on the device, and at the beginning of the new year we plan to use it to treat a wide range of patients.. The sanctions imposed on Russia were an incentive for us to innovate and develop, and with our local expertise we were able to develop and manufacture many medical devices and dispense with their imports," he added.
