Successful Surgery in Odesa: Saving a Patient with Stroke and Pulmonary Embolism

30 January 2026

Doctors at the City Clinical Hospital No. 10 in Odesa performed an extraordinary operation, successfully combining the treatment of acute stroke and pulmonary embolism.

The patient was admitted to the hospital with a severe stroke. During a CT scan, doctors discovered a blockage in the middle cerebral artery.

Additionally, the medical team noted that the patient was having difficulty breathing, prompting further lung examinations that confirmed the presence of pulmonary embolism.

The multidisciplinary team decided on a complex but vital course of action — to perform simultaneous thrombectomy on both arteries.

The surgery was successful, and the patient is currently feeling much better: she is conscious and can already move her limbs.

Modern medical technologies implemented at Hospital No. 10, along with the high professionalism of the specialists who continuously upgrade their knowledge, save lives and preserve patients' health.
