According to the latest weather forecast, the city of Shenzen and the entire Jiangnan region will usher in a BOSS-level cold wave, when the lowest temperature in the city will drop to minus seven degrees Celsius! This is not, the “prelude” of the cold air has already begun to take effect, ten hospital emergency hospital admitted a sudden brain infarction of octogenarians. Fortunately, the neurosurgeon successfully removed two 4mm square thrombi from the old man’s skull through X-ray guided stenting, and the symptoms of hemiplegia and aphasia improved dramatically. After a cold night, the family found that the 82-year-old Mr. Wang was a bit strange when he woke up in the morning – he could not move his left arm and leg and his speech was slurred. The family judged from common sense that the old man was most likely having a brain infarction, so they immediately sent him to the emergency room of the Tenth Hospital. The emergency CT examination ruled out cerebral hemorrhage, and the doctors and family members’ hearts were slightly relieved. Although cerebral infarction is relatively less life-threatening than cerebral hemorrhage, it should still not be taken lightly and must be treated symptomatically at the first time. The conventional method is to give thrombolytic drugs, however, thrombolytic drugs are a double-edged sword, and for elderly patients like Mr. Wang, they may induce bleeding in other areas. How can we remove the cerebrovascular infarction and ensure the safety of blood vessels in other parts of the body? A dilemma was presented to the doctors of the Tenth Hospital. After a thorough evaluation, the emergency stroke management team, consisting of experts from two departments, neurology and neurosurgery, decided to remove the thrombus through X-ray guided intervention. 25 minutes later, the old man was taken directly to the catheterization room, where the surgical team led by Professor Chen Zuoquan and Associate Professor Zhang Quanbin of neurosurgery was ready for all preparations. Disinfection, towel laying, puncture, imaging, microcatheter/microguide placement, determination of thrombus location, and stent release to pull the thrombus were all done almost in one go, and two 4 mm square, dark red thrombi were successfully removed. What is even more encouraging is that the limbs that were once completely hemiplegic on the first day after the surgery almost returned to normal. It is expected that after a period of treatment, the old man can return to the same state of life as before the onset of the disease. Doctors reminded that winter is a high incidence season for cerebrovascular accidents, especially when hit by cold waves. Therefore, patients suffering from hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other underlying diseases must strengthen the monitoring of their conditions during the severe winter season, and must not use medication according to inertia, but adjust the dosage of medication at any time according to the changes in their conditions under the guidance of a specialist. In addition, pay attention to warmth, stop smoking, limit alcohol, eat less fatty food, and stabilize emotions, these life considerations also help to prevent cerebrovascular accidents.
