What began as a diving trip turned into a life-threatening emergency when a patient was rushed to our doors with massive Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), secondary to May Thurner Syndrome. Facing one of the most complex vascular cases in our history, the SUMC team rose to the challenge.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Led by Dr. Patrick N. Vera Cruz (Vascular Medicine) and Dr. Jonathan K. Amante, Jr. (Interventional Radiologist), assisted by Dr. Philip Lee S. Chua, with anesthesiologist Dr. Finlay Anne M. Caliso, and our dedicated Cathlab team successfully performed the 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭-𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
To manage this high-risk case, a series of advanced strategies were deployed by the team:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🔘 𝐈𝐕𝐂 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭⁣⁣
🔘 𝐌𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐲 (using the Penumbra Indigo System)⁣⁣

🔘 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭⁣⁣

This achievement marks a new era for endovascular care in Dumaguete. At SUMC, we remain committed to bringing world-class medical innovation home to our community.⁣⁣

We thank Neurospine Technology Trading Corporation for their essential support in providing the cutting-edge technology used in this procedure.
⁣⁣
Advanced care is now within reach. At SUMC, we continue to invest in the expertise and technology needed to handle the most critical cases, ensuring our patients receive the highest standard of intervention in the region.⁣⁣
