Doctors from the Kuzbass Cardiac Dispensary saved a patient with a completely closed cerebral vessel

Doctors from the Kuzbass Cardiac Dispensary saved a patient with a completely closed vessel supplying blood to most of the cerebral hemisphere.

The patient was diagnosed with ischemic stroke caused by occlusion of a segment of the left middle cerebral artery.

After thrombolytic therapy and thromboextraction, blood flow was restored and the patient began the rehabilitation process.

KEMEROVO, October 5 – RIA Novosti. Doctors at the Kuzbass Cardiac Dispensary saved a patient whose blood clot had completely closed a vessel supplying blood to most of the cerebral hemisphere, regional Health Minister Andrei Tarasov reported on his Telegram channel.

According to the minister, the Kemerovo resident suffered an ischemic stroke. The man fell and could not get up due to paralysis of the right side of the body and disorientation. The son immediately called an ambulance. It turned out that the patient had already had micro-strokes, but he endured them “on his feet”, not attaching importance to dizziness.

The patient was urgently taken to the Kuzbass Clinical Cardiology Dispensary named after Academician L.S. Barbara.

“The results of CT angiography revealed occlusion of a segment of the left middle cerebral artery - blockage of a vessel supplying blood to most of the cerebral hemisphere. This leads to ischemia and death of brain tissue,” Tarasov wrote.

He clarified that this situation required emergency intervention.
