Medical professionals at the city clinical hospital No. 10 in Odesa have achieved a remarkable feat by simultaneously treating a patient for acute stroke and pulmonary embolism.

The patient was admitted with a severe acute stroke, and during a CT scan, doctors discovered a blockage in the middle cerebral artery.

Noticing that the patient was experiencing difficulty breathing, they conducted additional tests on her lungs, which revealed the presence of a pulmonary embolism.

A multidisciplinary team of doctors made a crucial but complex decision to perform simultaneous thrombectomy on both the brain and pulmonary arteries.

The surgery was successful, and the patient is now feeling much better: she is conscious and able to move her limbs.

Modern medical technologies implemented at hospital No. 10, along with the high professionalism of specialists who continuously improve their knowledge, lead to saved lives and preserved health of patients.
