Liver Transplant for Baby Narek
06 November 24
At just 5 days old, baby Narek was diagnosed with biliary atresia—a congenital condition involving the absence of intrahepatic bile ducts. His only chance for survival was a liver transplant. Narek was immediately placed under the care of gastroenterologist-hepatologists at the "Arabkir" Medical Center. According to protocol, he needed to grow to 7-8 kilograms—typically achieved by 6-7 months old—before he could undergo the transplant. Narek was growing well with his mother’s milk and reached the required weight. The operation was scheduled for November 1, and our dedicated team of doctors and staff prepared for the procedure. However, an unexpected turn occurred: due to an acute respiratory infection, Narek quickly developed liver failure, disrupting all prior plans. Our team faced the immense challenge of arranging the operation within hours. In what seemed improbable, everything came together. Colleagues from Minsk and Korea arrived to assist, and the transplant took place on October 29. Narek’s devoted father selflessly donated part of his liver. The surgery went smoothly, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to all the specialists involved. Currently, Narek and his doctors are navigating the challenging post-surgical journey, making progress each day with increasingly positive outcomes. During this critical time, as always, The Health Fund for Children of Armenia, led by Armen Martirosyan, stood by our side. The Fund’s financial support, made possible by generous public donations, is invaluable not only to our medical center but to our country, as the surgery costs far exceed what the state can cover. This collaboration between the state, charitable organizations, and medical institutions exemplifies the power of unity for the sake of a child's life. Thank you to everyone who contributed ❤️ Wishing health to Narek and all children ❤️
World Anesthesia Day
16 October 24
October 16 marks the professional day of anesthesiologists.   On this day in 1846, American dentist Thomas Morton performed the first operation using ether anesthesia. Since that groundbreaking moment nearly 180 years ago, anesthetic agents and techniques have greatly advanced, and anesthesiology has evolved into an essential branch of medicine—integral to both major and minor surgical interventions.   Congratulations, dear anesthesiologists! You are the specialists whose work often goes unnoticed—well, since you’re the ones who put patients to sleep. , But your contributions are invaluable and deserve the deepest gratitude.  https://arabkirmc.am/hy/services/48

Cooperation “Arabkir - Stony Brook''
08 May 23
The anesthesia - surgical team from the Stony Brook University of New York was in “Arabkir” Medical Center under the leadership of our compatriot, pediatric anesthesiologist, Doctor of Medicine Vahe Tadevosyan.  This was another visit made within the framework of many years of cooperation in order to share and exchange innovative experience and skills with each other. In addition to joint consultations, discussions and work in the operating room, the specialists from the US presented interesting clinical cases and new scientific materials. They emphasized that with each visit to “Arabkir”, they consistently learn something new and valuable from their colleagues, which they are then able to apply in their practice, making these visits extremely important for them as well.   News.am   “Anesthesiology, especially pediatric anesthesiology, is one of the most complex fields of medicine. Working with children in this field is special, based on both anatomical and physiological nuances, as well as pharmacological ones”. Khachatur Kyurkchyan, head of the anesthesiology and intensive care department of the "Arabkir" Medical Center, said this in a conversation with NEWS.am Medicine. According to him, this is one of the cases when it is not possible to say that the organism of a child is the same as the organism of an adult, just smaller. No. A specialist who does not know the anatomical and physiological characteristics of a child cannot successfully perform anesthesia, especially when it comes to babies one or two days old, whose brain is more sensitive to oxygen deprivation and whose cardiovascular system is less compensated. That is why, according to him, following international developments in pediatric anesthesiology, learning about innovative approaches, and exchanging professional experience and skills are very important, and "Arabkir" Medical Center cooperates with a number of clinics and professional associations for this purpose, including Vahe Tadevosyan's team from the famous Stony Brook clinic in the USA.  "And the exchange of experience and the discussion of cases regarding modern pediatric anesthesiology are important especially for those who are new to this field," Khachatur Kyurkchyan said. Now, the "Arabkir" Medical Center once again hosted a group of anesthesiologists and surgeons from Stony Brook University Hospital in New York, led by the famous Armenian anesthesiologist, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Vahe Tadevosyan. "For years, I have had a working relationship with the administration and teaching staff of the "Arabkir" Medical Center, and now I am lucky enough to gather a multidisciplinary team to come to Yerevan and work with our Armenian colleagues. Our goal is professional dialogue, discussion of ideas and exchange of experience. And I am very happy that we succeed, our visits create opportunities for professional mutual assistance," said pediatric anesthesiologist Vahe Tadevosyan from the Stony Brook University Hospital. These visits for exchange of experience and skills are of great importance for specialists from both sides, because in the conditions of daily development of practical medicine, innovative solutions appear, which are certainly interesting and educational.
