Aortic aneurysm surgical advancements in Italy
Overview
Medical facilities in Italy have reported successful treatments for complex aortic aneurysms using different surgical approaches.
In Genoa, Policlinico San Martino successfully treated an 81-year-old patient following a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. The medical team achieved a rapid transition from diagnosis to surgery in 20 minutes, aided by the presence of a vascular and endovascular surgery team during the ‘Aorta in salute’ diagnostic initiative. The hospital utilized a hybrid operating room to facilitate a multidisciplinary approach.
In Terni, surgeons at Santa Maria Hospital performed a minimally invasive procedure to treat a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. This operation employed a new Thoracoabdominal Multibranched Endoprosthesis, a next-generation stent-graft from the United States. The device allows for blood flow to vital organs while excluding the diseased aorta through small vascular access points, avoiding the extensive openings required by traditional surgery.
