🇪🇬 In celebration of the glorious October victories…
May our beloved Egypt always remain in honor and triumph.
The Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at the National Liver Institute continues to achieve remarkable medical milestones — fighting a different kind of battle this time 💪
During the past week, the Interventional Radiology Unit team successfully managed several delicate and complex cases using the latest interventional radiology techniques without the need for surgery. Among the most notable cases:
1️⃣ Hepatic Artery Angioplasty for a liver transplant patient suffering from arterial stenosis, where the artery was successfully dilated using a specialized balloon, restoring normal blood flow to the transplanted liver.
2️⃣ Control of severe gastrointestinal bleeding by embolizing the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) using selective catheterization and embolization, which successfully stopped the bleeding and saved the patient’s life.
3️⃣ Placement of an Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) filter for a patient with lower limb deep vein thrombosis to prevent pulmonary embolism — a crucial life-saving preventive measure.
4️⃣ Renal Artery Embolization for a patient with post-biopsy renal bleeding, where the bleeding branch was successfully occluded, stopping the hemorrhage and preserving kidney function.
👨⚕️ These advanced procedures were supervised by a specialized team led by:
✅ Prof. Hazem Omar – Head of the Interventional Radiology Unit
Team members:
🔷 Dr. Mohamed Magdy – Lecturer of Radiology
🔷 Dr. Mahmoud Abdelaziz – Lecturer of Radiology
🔷 Dr. Hesham Temraz – Lecturer of Radiology
🔷 Dr. Bassiouny Abdelaziz – Lecturer of Radiology
🔷 Dr. Ashraf Bayoumi – Lecturer of Radiology
🔷 Dr. Omar Atef – Lecturer of Radiology
With the participation of a distinguished group of assistant lecturers, residents, and junior staff from the department.
The team received continuous support and follow-up from:
✅ Prof. Osama Hegazy – Dean of the National Liver Institute
✅ Prof. Mohamed Husseiny – Head of the Radiology Department
💐 Sincere thanks to the surgery, anesthesia, nursing, and technical teams for their dedicated efforts and ongoing collaboration.
📢 These achievements reflect the Interventional Radiology Department’s unwavering commitment to providing the most advanced and safest medical solutions — reaffirming that interventional radiology is the future of modern medicine, serving patients and saving lives 🙌
