Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City, in partnership with the Mayo Clinic, has announced a complete replacement of the abdominal aorta, to save the life of a 35-year-old patient, after she was exposed to an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
The patient, Annalin Bissau, a Filipina, was transferred to the emergency department in Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City, and she was suffering from severe abdominal pain. Dr. Muhammad Bagneed, who was diagnosed with blood diseases in Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City, immediately received life-saving integrated care, thanks to the response of the experienced medical team, and the availability of the latest diagnostic equipment and surgical techniques in Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City, in partnership with the Mayo Clinic.
Bagnid said: “The patient arrived at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City, suffering from low blood pressure, accompanied by severe pain at first, then the main aorta in her abdomen swelled and ruptured, causing bleeding, and given the complexity of her condition, and the need for immediate intervention, our team had to They moved very quickly, so within half an hour of diagnosis, we had placed a clamp on the aorta to stop the bleeding, and as soon as we were able to do that, we proceeded to open her laparotomy and replace the entire aorta with an artificial graft inside her abdomen.”
He stressed that the case of the patient, Annalin, was very rare and exceptional, given the absence of risk factors, as the patient is young and non-smoker, but thanks to the accurate diagnosis and rapid response, I am happy to say that she recovered excellently, and was able to return to her home five days after undergoing the procedure.
