The Second People's Hospital of Loudi City successfully cleared the "time bomb" on the abdominal aorta for patients

The Second People's Hospital of Loudi City performed intraluminal isolation for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Red Net Moment December 17 (Correspondent Chen Jingyan) On December 14, the Third Department of the Second People's Hospital of Loudi City successfully performed intraluminal isolation of abdominal aortic aneurysm for a patient using arterial stent implantation technology, which is another technical attempt after the intraluminal isolation surgery of the hospital's thoracic main aneurysm.

Ms. Huang, 70 years old this year, inadvertently touched a pulsatile mass in her left upper quadrant in October 2021, was diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm after examination at the Second People's Hospital of Loudi City, and was admitted to the three departments of surgery on December 3. Xiao Chaohui, head of the department and deputy chief physician, organized expert consultations to discuss and analyze Ms. Huang's condition in detail, and recommended surgery to the patient's family. On December 14, the Department of Surgery performed a 1-hour stent implantation of abdominal aortic aneurysm for Ms. Huang, which took 1 hour and the operation was successful.

Although the abdominal aortic aneurysm has the "title" of "tumor", it is not a real tumor, but because the structure of the middle layer of the artery is destroyed, the arterial wall cannot withstand the pressure of the blood flow impact, and the local or extensive dilation or expansion is formed. Once the abdominal aortic aneurysm ruptures, it is very dangerous, like a "time bomb". Not only that, but the disease is highly misdiagnosed, and the true incidence is often underestimated. The intraluminal isolation of aneurysm is to make normal blood flow from the stent, which can effectively avoid the growth of aneurysm and damage to the wall of the abdominal aortic aneurysm, and effectively resolve the risk of provocation and rupture of the abdominal aortic aneurysm. Compared with traditional open surgery, this procedure is faster postoperative recovery and less traumatic, making it the usual choice for abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Xiao Chaohui introduced that most patients are asymptomatic, often found by chance for other reasons, pain is a common symptom before rupture, age over 50 years old, suffering from hypertension, diabetes or people with high blood lipids, it is best to do arterial ultrasound examination every year, early detection, early intervention, can prevent the serious harm caused by the rupture of aneurysm.
