Health, Ao CZ: New goals for the treatment of cerebrovascular malformations

The “Renato Dulbecco” University Hospital Trust is at the top of the rankings for the quality and number of services provided in the field of neurological emergencies, especially in the treatment of ischemic stroke, with almost 160 procedures completed in the last three years.

The company itself made this known, explaining how «gthanks to the multidisciplinary collaboration between the Neurology Department and the Level II Stroke Unit directed by Dominic Boscothe Neurosurgery UOC, led by Joseph Maurothe mixed university hospital neuroradiology team directed respectively by Dr. Bernardo Bertucci and Prof. Umberto Sabatini, in a few years significant goals have been achieved in the treatment of steno-occlusive and malformative pathologies of the intracranial circulation».

«A further important result – we read in the note – was achieved a few days ago, on Friday 23 August, when the endo-neuro vascular team, in collaboration with Professor Salvatore Mangiafico – one of the leading national and international experts in the field of interventional neurology – has successfully performed a complex cerebrovascular malformation embolization procedure on a patient from the province of Vibo Valentia, hospitalized in the Neurology department (formerly PO Pugliese). This was the first intervention of this type performed in the regional capital».

“The treatment of cerebral AVMs, like that of other malformative cerebrovascular diseases – the note continues – has so far been a reason for health migration from our region to highly specialized centers in Italy and abroad due to the high procedural complexity (in Italy there are currently very few centers capable of treating these diseases). Today, however, the skills and high professional profile achieved by the health workers of the Renato Dulbecco Company allows their treatment in Calabria, thanks also to the support of the staff of the Anesthesia and Resuscitation Operating Unit directed by Stefania Farago».

1This demonstrates that regional healthcare – the note concludes – is represented by increasingly capable operators and professionals who tenaciously pursue flattering objectives, and are at the service of the community”. (rcz)
