Thuringia: A risky brain bypass saves 61-year-old life!

A 61-year-old man from South Thuringia recently suffered a severe stroke, which led to an acute vascular closure in the brain. Medicine often needs a lot of preparation here, but the doctors at the University Hospital Jena had to act quickly. Nazife Dinc, the senior senior physician in neurosurgery, and her colleague Albrecht Günther opted for an extraordinary brain bypass surgery. This type of intervention is rare and usually intended for patients with chronic vascular closures. But the condition of the man required an immediate measure, and after four intensive hours of the operation, the procedure was successful.

First progress is already evident: the patient has made significant improvements. Paralysis that had previously severely restricted him have decreased almost completely. He can move his left arm and leg again and has won new quality of life. DINC emphasizes that the whole team did an excellent job to carry out this rare and complex intervention.
