Al-Thawra Hospital officials report successful operation
The vascular surgery team at Al-Thawra General Hospital in Hodeidah performed the first operation to remove an abdominal aortic aneurysm in the right femoral artery on a 53-year-old patient who had been suffering from a pulsating mass in the femoral region for three years. The procedure, carried out after completing the necessary examinations using a graft from the patient's own saphenous vein, was successful. Postoperative scans showed the graft was healthy and blood flow was normal. The patient was discharged after a week in stable condition. This is the first such operation in the governorate, highlighting the hospital's advancing capabilities in vascular surgery and efforts toward localizing healthcare services and reducing the need for treatment outside the region.
