Prof. Hoang Anh Tien, head of the team. After intensive resuscitation, the patient had no signs of recovery, and was almost fatal. With the determination to save his life, after 30 minutes of intensive intervention, the intervention was successful. The thrombus was removed from the coronary arteries. Nguyen L. was then transferred to the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) to continue with his treatment.
After that, the patient can almost completely recover. He can walk on his own, eat as usual and was discharged. According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tien, the success of this difficult intervention is the result of the effective and responsible combination of the whole team, especially the Emergency department and Intensive Care Unit regarding the approval from the family.
