An Open Doors Day event was recently held at the Cardiology
Department of the Central customs Hospital, marking a significant

insight into the hospital's advanced medical procedures and its
contributions to national healthcare, Azernews

At the opening ceremony, Dr. Bakhtiyar Musayev, Chief Doctor of
the Central Customs Hospital, extended his congratulations to the
media representatives on the occasion of July 22nd, National Press
Day. Dr. Musayev provided an overview of the hospital's mission,
focusing on the Cardiology Department's innovative practices and
the state-of-the-art procedures available to patients.
Dr. Musayev highlighted the hospital's commitment to offering
cutting-edge medical services, including non-invasive surgical
techniques that are rare in Azerbaijan but are now part of the
Central Customs Hospital's daily operations. He elaborated on
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) and other advanced
heart valve replacement techniques performed through a minimally
invasive approach via the groin. He emphasized that many of these
complex and sophisticated procedures, once considered
extraordinary, are now available to patients at no cost through the
Compulsory Medical Insurance Program.
Dr. Musayev emphasized that the hospital's continuous
reconstruction efforts and the introduction of new medical services
underscore the state's dedication to modernizing healthcare. He
discussed the focus on human capital development, technological
advancements, and the enhancement of the healthcare economy as key
priorities for the state.
Ismayil Efendiyev, Deputy Head of the Medical Service Department
of the State Customs Committee, also addressed the attendees. He
shared insights into the medical and social initiatives organized
by the Central Customs Hospital across various regions of the
country, including the establishment of cooperation agreements and
the execution of associated measures.
Dr. Ilgar Tahiroglu, Head of the Cardiology Department and a
leading invasive cardiologist, provided a detailed presentation on
the department's range of services, including TAVI, Endovascular
Aneurysm Repair (EVAR), and Thoracic Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
(TEVAR). He outlined how these procedures are integrated into the
Compulsory Medical Insurance framework, showcasing their
application in clinical practice even as they remain uncommon in
many other countries.
Following the presentations, attendees were given the
opportunity to tour the Cardiology Department's examination rooms
and witness a live TAVI procedure performed on an 84-year-old
patient. The procedure involved the insertion of a new aortic valve
via the leg vein, without general anesthesia or incisions to the
chest. Dr. Leman Eyvazli, a cardiologist from the department,
conducted a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) to evaluate the
new valve and assess the condition of other heart valves,
concluding that the operation was a success.
The Open Doors Day aimed to provide media representatives and
medical residents with a comprehensive understanding of the Central
Customs Hospital's Cardiology Department. The event offered a
closer look at the department's operations, advanced treatment
methods, and the surgical procedures available to patients,
fostering direct communication between medical professionals and
attendees.
The Open Doors Day at the Cardiology Department of the Central
Customs Hospital served as an important platform for showcasing the
hospital's innovative medical procedures, its role in national
healthcare, and its dedication to advancing medical science through
the Compulsory Medical Insurance Program. The event not only
celebrated National Press Day but also demonstrated the hospital's
ongoing efforts to enhance healthcare services in Azerbaijan.
