Treating 90-year-old's abdominal aneurysm with PEVR
The Interventional Radiology team at Hafr Al Batin Central Hospital successfully performed the first procedure to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm using the PEVR technique on a patient in their nineties. This achievement reduces the need to transfer cases to centers outside the region and enhances the hospital’s efficiency. The technique relies on precise intervention through a small pike without major surgeries, performed under local anesthesia, which facilitates rapid recovery in elderly patients and reduces the complications associated with general anesthesia. The patient was discharged in good health after the procedure. This technique is considered the optimal choice for treating aneurysms and achieves highly successful results, according to the case supervisor.
