Today's Yongzhou News (correspondent Xiao Lingang Mao Lingyi) "Special thanks to the doctors and nurses! Without your superb medical skills and patient and meticulous care, I would not have recovered so quickly." Happy Labor Day to you all in advance!" On April 30, when Grandpa Liu, who was treated with "stent graft implantation endovascular isolation surgery" for abdominal aortic aneurysm in the Department of Neurosurgery of Daoxian County People's Hospital, recovered and was discharged, he gave a thumbs up to the medical staff who saw him off from the department to express his gratitude.
Grandpa Liu, 73 years old, had unbearable repeated abdominal pain in the past two months, and went to Daoxian People's Hospital for treatment, and the examination found that the abdominal aorta was abnormally dilated and thickened, and the diagnosis: "abdominal aortic aneurysm". "Abdominal aortic aneurysm" is the expansion and bulging of the abdominal aortic wall, most patients are usually asymptomatic, often found incidentally due to other reasons or physical examination, patients with acute rupture are manifested as sudden severe pain in the lower back, accompanied by shock, will die due to rapid blood loss or even before arriving at the hospital, the condition is very dangerous, just like a time bomb hidden in the body, and may be life-threatening at any time.
In order to relieve Grandpa Liu's life safety hazards, the interventional radiology department and vascular surgery team of the hospital carefully studied and discussed, and after obtaining the consent of Grandpa Liu's family, it was decided to perform "stent graft implantation endovascular isolation surgery" for him for abdominal aortic aneurysm. This surgery avoids the great trauma and pain that comes with traditional surgery. On April 13, under the guidance of experts, the fully prepared interventional radiology team successfully defused the "bomb" hidden in the body for Grandpa Liu with rich clinical experience and precise interventional surgical skills, and the surgical trauma was only a small puncture operation at the base of the thigh. On the second day after the operation, Grandpa Liu was able to get out of bed and walk around normally, and his body did not feel any discomfort, and he was discharged from the hospital smoothly.
The successful implementation of this operation fills the technical gap of minimally invasive interventional treatment of macrovascular lesions in the county. In recent years, the Department of Interventional Radiology of Daoxian People's Hospital has relied on the specialty alliance with provincial and municipal tertiary hospitals, while comprehensively carrying out interventional diagnosis and treatment of heart and cerebrovascular diseases, it has also carried out interventional diagnosis and treatment of peripheral blood vessels and large blood vessels and interventional embolization surgery of tumors, so as to realize minimally invasive treatment of various complex diseases and fully protect the life safety of the masses.
