Minimally invasive technique for dangerous abdominal aneurysm

  Abdominal aneurysms, such as splenic aneurysm, hepatic aneurysm, abdominal aortic aneurysm, etc. The most dangerous one is abdominal aortic aneurysm, which is not actually an aneurysm, but an expansion of the abdominal aorta of more than 1.5 times the normal diameter, growing like a “tumor”, and the larger the aneurysm, the more dangerous it is, just like a blown-up balloon, with the risk of rupture at any time, and once it ruptures You may not know that King George II of England, the famous scientist Albert Einstein, geologist Li Siguang, American women’s volleyball star Hyman and Chinese men’s volleyball star Zhu Gang all died of the same dangerous disease: abdominal aortic aneurysm.  As the aneurysm continues to grow, blood flow will create eddies within the aneurysm, forming many thrombi in the aneurysm cavity, which may lead to blockage of the distal arteries and acute ischemia, commonly in the arteries of the lower limbs, causing pain, coldness and pallor in the limbs, and in severe cases, gangrene or even amputation of the limbs, resulting in tragedies in life and family.  For the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm, the traditional surgery is to open the abdomen to remove the aneurysm and replace it with an artificial blood vessel, which has a definite effect, but the surgery is traumatic, with an incision of more than 30 cm, slow recovery and high complication rate, which is difficult to tolerate for some patients with poor general condition, advanced age and basic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, old and slow branch, heart disease, etc.; while the minimally invasive treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm has shown a miraculous effect on the repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Minimally invasive treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm has shown miraculous power in repairing abdominal aortic aneurysm, bringing hope for patients who are not suitable for open surgery as mentioned above to live. Minimally invasive treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm does not require an incision in the abdomen, but only a 3~4 cm incision at the root of the thigh, and under X-ray fluoroscopy, a memory alloy stent and an ultra-thin artificial vascular composite are delivered through vascular puncture to close the aneurysm cavity and achieve the same repair effect as traditional open surgery. The recovery is fast and the hospital stay is short, and the patient can be discharged in 5-7 days after surgery. This technique has been developed rapidly since the world’s first case was performed in 1991. The treatment method requires quite high technical and equipment requirements. The Department of Vascular Surgery of Subei Hospital is one of the few vascular specialties in Jiangsu Province that has mastered this technology and can carry out this technology independently, and the technology level is at the leading level in the province. A number of patients suffering from abdominal aorta have benefited from it, not only saving their lives but also avoiding the pain of traditional surgical trauma.
