Doctors from the Cardiovascular - Stroke - Interventional Phlegm Center in collaboration with the Obstetrics Department, Hung Vuong General Hospital successfully treated a case of a 17-week pregnant woman who suffered severe shock and blood loss due to a renal tumor rupture - a rare and especially critical situation during pregnancy.
The patient, a female student born in 1996, was hospitalized with severe abdominal pain, dizziness, and low blood pressure. The test results and imaging diagnosis showed that the patient was in a state of acute blood loss, with rapidly decreased circulation. At the same time, doctors discovered a large clot in the petrocardial cavity, directly threatening the lives of the mother and fetus.
Immediately, the medical team conducted an emergency interdisciplinary consultation. The scan results showed that the bleeding point originated from a tumor in the lower third of the left kidney that had ruptured. The patient was quickly transferred to emergency intervention under the DSA system. The results of the coronary scan showed drug leakage from the left renal artery branch. The intervention team approached the location of the lesion accurately and performed a bleeding nut using a mixture of biological glue solution combined with Lipiodol. Post-intervention tests showed that the bleeding point had been completely stopped, and the remaining arterial branches of the left kidney were preserved to the maximum.
One of the biggest challenges of the case was performing vascular intervention techniques in the context of the patient being pregnant. This requires the team of doctors to calculate carefully to ensure the safety of both mother and fetus, minimizing the risk of exposure and adverse impacts on fetal development.
Thanks to the quick, accurate and smooth coordination between the specialties of Cardiology - Interventional Electricity and Obstetrics, the patient was saved in time, the shock was controlled, and the health of both mother and fetus was preserved.
