Hoang Anh Gia Lai University of Medicine Hospital performs renal artery interventions

Hoang Anh Gia Lai University of Medicine Hospital, in collaboration with experts from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Ho Chi Minh City, successfully performed renal artery interventions on two patients with complex vascular lesions.

The first patient, a woman born in 1962, suffered from recurrent hematuria following a trauma. Medical teams identified a renal artery pseudoaneurysm, an excretory tract tear, and perirenal hematoma. Doctors performed angiography and successfully treated the left renal artery pseudoaneurysm to control bleeding risks.

The second patient, a child born in 2010, was diagnosed with vascular malformations in the right renal pelvis-ureter area and the bladder, causing recurrent hematuria. The medical team utilized angiography and endovascular intervention to address these lesions.

This minimally invasive technique allows doctors to access lesions directly through the vascular system, reducing the need for major surgery and shortening recovery times. The successful implementation of these visceral artery interventions marks an expansion of specialized medical services for residents in the western Gia Lai and Central Highlands regions of Vietnam.
