Correspondent Su Xuanyangzhou released reporter Wang Shiyun
Ms. Wang, who is in her early fifties this year, rarely gets sick and rarely goes to the hospital, but Five days ago, late at night, I suddenly had unbearable stomach pain. I went to the local hospital for a check and found that an aneurysm had grown on the hepatic artery. Ms. Wu immediately went to the North Jiangsu Hospital for treatment.
Dr. Wang Lei from the Department of Vascular Surgery of the North Jiangsu Hospital consulted Ms. Wang and found that a 33mm aneurysm had grown on the hepatic artery with a diameter of only 8mm, and the aneurysm had a precursor to rupture. Once ruptured, it would cause massive bleeding. Rescue is too late. Wang Lei immediately reported to Chen Zhaolei, chief physician of vascular surgery, who arranged emergency surgery to “block” the aneurysm. The hepatic aneurysm was filled with coils during the operation, which significantly reduced the pressure inside the aneurysm and minimized the risk of rupture.
The operation took more than an hour and it was very successful. The patient recovered well and will be discharged this weekend. According to Chen Zhaolei, visceral aneurysms mainly include splenic aneurysms, renal aneurysms, hepatic aneurysms, and superior mesenteric aneurysms. They are a time bomb that can explode at any time. And usually there are no special symptoms, only when it is about to rupture, there will be obvious abdominal pain, and once ruptured, the bleeding will be life-threatening.
Chen Zhaolei reminded the public to pay attention to their health at ordinary times, stay away from tobacco and alcohol, have regular physical examinations, and seek medical attention at any time when symptoms occur.
