Abstract
Aim. To conduct comparative analysis of the activities of the department of vascular surgery before and during the spread of new coronavirus infection COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2).
Methods. The analysis was performed on the number of outpatient visits of vascular surgeon for types of diagnosis, number and type of surgeries performed at the inpatient facilities of the LLC “Grand Medica” over 2019 (whole year) and 2020 (quarterly).
Results. Significant decrease was noted in the number of visits of patients with cardiovascular diseases to vascular surgeon in the outpatient facility. The number of surgeries on limb arteries in patients among Kuzbass residents decreased by 26.4 %, among residents of other regions – by 59.5 %; in brachiocephalic arteries – by 12.5 % and 54.5 %, respectively. The number of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in patients among Kuzbass residents increased by 25.3 %, among residents of other regions remained unchanged.
Conclusion. Decrease in the volume of provision of care for patients with cardiovascular diseases over 2–4 quarters of 2020 is caused by two groups of factors. The first one is associated directly to the epidemiological situation and countermeasures against the spread of SARS-CoV-2 while the second one is associated indirectly.
