"We controlled, clamped the neck of the upper and lower ends of the aneurysm to stop the bleeding, removed the aneurysm, and replaced the abdominal aorta - iliac artery on both sides with artificial blood vessels. All operations of the surgical team needed to be quick to restore the artery and provide blood supply to the lower limbs to avoid necrosis," - Master Pham Van Chung, Department of Cardiovascular - Thoracic Surgery, the main surgeon of the surgery shared.
