Groundbreaking Medical Surgery in Odesa
Doctors at the city clinical hospital No. 10 in Odesa have successfully completed a rare medical procedure — simultaneous treatment for acute stroke and pulmonary embolism.
The patient arrived at the hospital with a severe acute stroke. During a CT scan, physicians discovered a blockage in the middle cerebral artery.
Additionally, the doctors noted that the patient had difficulty breathing, leading them to conduct further examinations of the lungs. It was found that she also suffered from pulmonary embolism.
A team of specialists made a challenging but crucial decision — to perform a simultaneous thrombectomy for both the cerebral and pulmonary arteries.
The operation was successful. The patient is now feeling significantly better: she is conscious and can move her limbs.
Modern medical technologies implemented at hospital No. 10, combined with the high professionalism of specialists who continually upgrade their knowledge, are key to saving lives and maintaining patients' health.
