Cho Ray Hospital intervenes in every smallest blood vessel in the body, treating many complex diseases.

People with vascular diseases account for a high proportion, often leaving severe sequelae. Endovascular intervention techniques at Cho Ray Hospital can access most blood vessels in the body, bringing great benefits to patients.

The above information was given by Dr. Pham Thanh Viet - Deputy Director in charge of management and operations of Cho Ray Hospital (HCMC) - at the International Conference on endovascular intervention to treat neurovascular, visceral and peripheral vascular diseases: update on new advances, taking place on October 4 and 5 at Cho Ray Hospital.

Vietnamese doctors said that people with vascular diseases currently account for a very large proportion, causing many serious consequences.

Thanks to the development of science and technology, the medical industry has applied many advanced techniques, in which endovascular intervention is prominent. This technique can access most blood vessels in the body, limiting invasion, reducing procedures, and gentle post-surgery.

"In the past, when there was no endovascular intervention technique, patients had to undergo heavy surgeries, but the cause of the disease was not completely resolved, accompanied by many post-operative complications.

Endovascular intervention has brought great progress to the field of vascular treatment, minimally invasive, shortening recovery time. Thanks to this technique, doctors can access and treat even smaller blood vessel locations throughout the body, which were previously difficult or impossible to intervene with surgery," Dr. Viet analyzed.

Although vascular intervention brings many benefits, according to Dr. Viet, many hospitals have not yet implemented this technique due to many barriers such as the expensive cost of equipping a digital subtraction angiography (DSA) system, and the complex technique that requires it to be performed at large centers...

Cho Ray Hospital alone has basically deployed most of the specialized endovascular intervention techniques, meeting the complex treatment needs of patients including: intervention for cerebrovascular (stroke; aneurysm, cerebral occlusion), visceral blood vessels and peripheral blood vessels (stenosis, occlusion of blood vessels in the upper limbs of diabetic patients).

The hospital aims not only to maintain, but also to enhance its pioneering position in the field of endovascular intervention, approaching the world .

To achieve this goal, Cho Ray Hospital has proactively sent a team of young doctors to countries with advanced technology to gain experience and apply it.

At the same time, the hospital aims to perform deeper and deeper interventions, entering smaller blood vessels to solve the root of the pathological problems. However, the hospital encourages research to develop new techniques, which are unique to the hospital.

According to Dr. Viet, developing endovascular intervention techniques right at the grassroots level is very necessary, helping patients receive timely treatment and prevent complications, because in reality, many cases are transferred to the final level too late.

Speaking at the conference, Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Tri Thuc highly appreciated the efforts of Cho Ray Hospital, especially the hospital's diagnostic imaging department, in innovating, improving professional quality and applying modern technology, thereby bringing practical benefits to patients.

Deputy Minister Nguyen Tri Thuc requested the hospital to continue implementing the following contents:

- Promote high-quality human resource training combining theory, practice and research.

- Strengthen international cooperation to receive, transfer and create new technologies, especially the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in arterial intervention techniques.

- Promote the role of support and dissemination of expertise to medical facilities across the country.
