Another historic intervention in public health sanjuanina

Yesterday morning, the first endovascular stent implanted in a public hospital in San Juan was carried out at Rawson Hospital thanks to the new technology made available to the institution.

The head of the cardiology department of Rawson Hospital, Dr. Adrián D 'Ovidio, said that this intervention represents "a historic moment for the province." Here will do many things d & # 39; today: currently doing a vascular surgical procedure, with a diagnostic study of the patient 's arteries, coronary arteries, neck and brain.It goes with the transesophageal ultrasound to the l'. inside then the patient is placed on a stent: through a peripheral artery, a very long prosthesis that opens inside the aorta is raised, it anchors and prevents the aorta to continue to break down.At this time, the services of anesthesia, cardiology, hemodynamics and cardiovascular surgery are working together. "

Dr. D & Ovidio said that since 1990, Hemodynamics had not been achieved in the public sector in San Juan "At that time, it was one of the few places in the country where hemodynamics was practiced in public places. All this was lost because the equipment was not used and the private party absorbed everything. "

" The equipment is very expensive and very specific, it is a technology that requires a special and permanent maintenance. The haemodynamic room should always be at 23 ° C, neither a degree nor a degree less, as this maintenance is necessary and this involves a political decision. This has been understood now and the basis of everything is to understand that it is for those who have nothing and with that the one who has nothing today has better attention even more that has the economic possibilities, "explained the professional.For Dr D & # 39; Ovidio, this example and the arrival of new technologies open an unprecedented panorama:" Our public echocardiography center is the better equipped in Argentina. The best equipped public hospital in Argentina is El Cruce de Florencio Varela: they have a team, we have two. With this, the Hemodynamic Service has been launched and will be fully operational next week when all the missing equipment will arrive. "

In addition, the circle is closed so that the hospital can be a cardiological training center for young doctors from all over the country because according to Ovidio" it is not necessary to have a doctor. There is no reason that a doctor who wants to train as a cardiologist does not take into account the Rawson Hospital in San Juan, with advanced technology, with trained professionals from all over the world. first in each of the sectors, a complete cardiology service, a complete cardiovascular service, a full service interventional hemodynamics, a complete electrophysiology, a cardiac magnetic resonance, a multi-scan computed tomography, an echography and a ultrasound of the highest level, 23 coronary unit beds in any of these segments, there is no recognized specialist at the national and international level.
