Another historic intervention in public health sanjuanina

The morning of yesterday, the first endovascular stent implanted in a San Juan public hospital was performed at Rawson Hospital thanks to the new technology made available to the facility.

The chief of the cardiology department of Rawson Hospital, Dr. Adrin DOvidio, expressed in this respect that this intervention represents a historic moment for the province. Many things will begin today: at this time, vascular surgery is underway, as well as a diagnostic study of the patient's arteries, coronary arteries, and neck and brain arteries. It pbades through a transesophageal ultrasound inside and then the patient is placed on a stent: through a peripheral artery, a very long prosthesis that opens inside the aorta is lifted, anchored and prevented the aorta from continuing to break. At this time, the services of anesthesia, cardiology, hemodynamics and cardiovascular surgery work together.

Dr. DOvidio says that since 1990, there is no hemodynamics in the public area of ​​San Juan. At the time, it was one of the few places in the country where hemodynamics was practiced on the public side. All this was lost because he stopped investing in equipment 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 hemodynamic room should always be at 23 ° C, no more than one degree or less, for which maintenance is required and this involves a political decision. This has been understood now and the basis of all is to understand that this is for the one who has nothing and with the one who has nothing today has better attention even more than who has them. economic opportunities, explained the professional.

For Dr DOvidio, this example and the arrival of new technologies open an indisputable panorama: our public echocardiography center is the best equipped in Argentina. The best equipped public hospital in Argentina is El Cruce de Florencio Varela: they have a team, we have two. The hemodynamic service has been launched and will be operational next week when all the missing equipment arrives.

In addition, the circle is closed so that the hospital can be a cardiology training center for young people. doctors from all over the country, because according to the opinion of DOVIDIO, there is no reason for a doctor who wants to train a cardiologist not to take into account the hospital Rawson of San Juan, with advanced technology, with trained professionals one of the sectors, a comprehensive cardiology service, a comprehensive cardiovascular service, a comprehensive service of interventional hemodynamics, a complete electrophysiology, a magnetic cardiac resonance, a computed tomography multi-unit, echocardiography and a very high-level ecovascular, 23 coronary unit beds these segments do not have any more specialist certified nationally and internationally.
