On May 7th, the people of Miyi County Medical Group successfully performed the first case of “transfemoral artery intubation whole cerebral arteriography + percutaneous selective aortic arch angiography”.
The patient, Ms. Yang, went to the County People’s Hospital for dizziness and headache. Magnetic resonance examination suggested that a small aneurysm in the C6 segment of the right internal carotid artery was possible. Knowing that there might be an aneurysm, the patient was very anxious. Zeng Biao, director of the Department of Neurology of the County People’s Hospital, patiently explained the condition to the patients and their families to ease their anxiety, and suggested “transfemoral artery intubation for whole cerebral angiography + Percutaneous selective aortic arch angiography” to further confirm the diagnosis.
CT angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and other new diagnostic techniques have been widely used in the diagnosis of cerebrovascular diseases, but digital subtraction cerebral angiography (DSA) is still a The “gold standard” for the diagnosis of vascular disease. Cerebral angiography can clearly show the morphological changes of the blood vessels themselves, such as dilation, deformity, spasm, stenosis, infarction, hemorrhage, etc. It can not only identify the location of the lesion, but also clearly understand the scope and severity of the lesion, which can be used for surgical treatment. Provide reliable evidence.
After obtaining the consent of the patients and their families, the hospital immediately contacted the Department of Neurosurgery of Panzhihua Central Hospital, and invited municipal experts to the hospital to guide the operation. Under the guidance of Professor Li Mi of the Department of Neurosurgery of Panzhihua Central Hospital, he worked closely with the cath lab team to successfully complete “whole cerebral arteriography + aortic arch angiography” for the patient. The operation lasted 98 minutes and the patient was in good condition.
Angiography results ruled out the possibility of aneurysm, which not only relieved the anxiety of patients and their families, but also provided an important basis for subsequent treatment.
The successful implementation of neurointervention is another major progress of the hospital following the mature development of cardiac intervention and peripheral vascular intervention, marking a new step in the interventional diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases in the County People’s Hospital. steps. In the next step, the hospital will carry out more advanced and applicable new projects and new technologies to better protect the health of the county and surrounding people.
