Revolutionary neurosurgery: New treatment method saves life in St. Pölten

In the St. Pölten University Hospital, a pioneering medical treatment was recently carried out, which saved the life of a patient. In this innovative process, the brain's blood supply was initially improved by a newly produced connection. This was done under the direction of Camillo Sherif, head of the clinical department for neurosurgery, and Klaus F. Schrögendorfer, the head of the department for plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.

However, the treatment was only the beginning, because a week after the first procedure there was a second, minimal invasive procedure. For this purpose, a catheter was used that was introduced by the bar. In this procedure, the doctors were able to successfully close an aneurysm, i.e. a bortage in a brain vessel, with a new implant. Senior doctor Cornelia Pangratz-Daller carried out this intervention, which has so far rarely been used in Austria.

a new hope for patients

The success of this treatment not only enthusiastically the hospital employees, but also received political support. State Councilor Ludwig Schleritzko from the ÖVP expressed that it was important to "create the best possible framework conditions for innovative treatment methods." The goal is to enable such high -quality medical services to everyone you need.

This progress in medical technology and treatment open up new perspectives for patients with similar health problems. With this new approach, many lives could be saved in the future, which makes the St. Pölten University Hospital a pioneer in medical care.

The advanced methods in the treatment of aneurysms are an important step in modern neurosurgery. It remains to be seen how these developments will further influence the treatment of patients and whether similar procedures are adopted in other clinics.
