The most challenging endovascular surgery
A 35-year-old lady was hospitalized at the National Center of Surgery a few days ago with a brain aneurysm. The patient displayed disorientation as well as psychomotor agitation.
A brain hemorrhage was discovered using computed tomography. Following that, a CT scan of the blood arteries revealed a very significant parietal aneurysm in the brain. Giorgi Egutidze, Head of the Neurosurgery Department at the National Center of Surgery, discusses the operation's risks and consequences:
„Preoperative findings demonstrated that the patient had a large parietal aneurysm in the brain. This meant, that an additional primary blood artery was emerging from the aneurysm, making the procedure technically difficult. Following the surgery, this condition dramatically raised the patient's risk of getting an ischemic stroke. There was also a chance that the aneurysm may rupture during the operation and cause death right away.
In general, a cerebral aneurysm is a vascular pathology, a parietal swelling of the main blood vessel. It is regarded as a serious diagnosis because it accounts for 60% of all deaths or severe disabilities. As a result, both doctors and family members were presented with a difficult decision. Finally, an urgent surgical operation was decided upon at the invited council, in agreement with the family!
To be truthful, starting the procedure was emotional and tough because the life of a 35-year-old girl was spent on the operating table. However, everything went smoothly and the aneurysm was successfully removed!
The patient is feeling well after surgery and has no postoperative impairments or problems. She will stay in our facility for four days before returning home to continue her rehabilitation and therapy. Of course, her family and the medical staff at our clinic are relieved that another challenging procedure has ended well!“.
