Video Summary
In this video, Dr. Naja El Abadi from Morocco discusses her experience with managing ruptured aneurysms. She explains that while they strive to help their patients with a smile, there can be tears and complications along the way. Dr. Abadi shares a case study of a 60-year-old man who initially had successful surgery for an anterior communicating artery aneurysm but later suffered a re-bleeding and ultimately passed away. She then presents a retrospective study comparing the management of aneurysms in a public hospital vs. a private hospital in Rabat, Morocco. The study looked at the use of endovascular treatment vs. clipping and analyzed various factors including patient demographics and clinical outcomes. Dr. Abadi discusses the challenges of limited access to endovascular doctors and materials and suggests that offering more job opportunities for radiologists and young neurosurgeons to learn and practice both techniques could improve the management of aneurysms. She concludes by inviting colleagues to upcoming neurosurgical meetings in Naples, Italy and Marrakech, Morocco.
