About the clinic

Treatment for atherosclerosis at Meliva Kardiolita Hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania, includes advanced cardiac and vascular surgery. Options for patients range from $90 Holter monitoring to $300 heart check-ups and $2,000 pre-operative heart workups. This facility is the only JCI-accredited hospital in the Baltic States and is known for its specialized cardiovascular care.

The hospital maintains high standards for surgical safety. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at the facility has a 99% success rate, even for high-risk patients. Complication rates for these procedures stay under 2%. The hospital also operates its own laboratory and rehabilitation center to support patient recovery.

Diagnostics for atherosclerosis

Physicians use various tests to determine the extent of artery blockages and blood flow health. An online consultation with a cardiologist may cost around $150 to begin the process. Detailed diagnostic options include:

  • Holter monitoring. This portable device tracks heart rhythm for 24 hours and costs around $90–$100.
  • Coronary CT angiography. This scan creates detailed images of the heart vessels.
  • Vascular ultrasound. Doctors check blood flow in the neck (carotid), arms, or legs.
  • Ankle-brachial index measurement. This test compares blood pressure at the ankle and the arm to check for limb blockages.
  • Heart diagnosis before OP. This complete evaluation for surgery typically runs $1,300–$2,000.

Surgical and interventional treatments

Dr. Vytautas Abraitis leads interventional cardiology efforts at the hospital. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Abraitis has performed 2,500+ coronary angiographies and 1,200+ coronary interventions. The medical team offers several ways to restore blood flow:

  • Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This method uses balloon angioplasty and drug-eluting stents to open heart arteries without open surgery.
  • Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Surgeons create new paths for blood to bypass clogged heart arteries.
  • Carotid artery surgery. This procedure treats atherosclerosis in the neck vessels to help prevent strokes.
  • Leg artery revascularization. Surgeons repair arteries in the lower limbs to improve mobility and circulation.
  • Abdominal aortic surgery. This operation addresses atherosclerosis in the main abdominal artery and its branches.

Patients receive 24/7 nursing care during their stay. The hospital was founded by cardiac surgeons Prof. Vytautas Sirvydis and Prof. Giedrius Uzdavinys, who established a strong foundation in surgical excellence. You can request a consultation for atherosclerosis treatment at Meliva Kardiolita Hospital through Bookimed.

The clinic can not evaluate, since I was there for one hour. He came with his analyzes, they didn’t say anything new, maybe this is good. Although I did not want to know.
