Dr. Saurabh Jaiswal, Consultant – Interventional Radiologist at Wockhardt Hospitals Nagpur, Successfully Performs complex EVAR Procedure
Medical science continues to evolve, offering safer, more effective, and patient-friendly treatment options. Demonstrating excellence in advanced healthcare, Wockhardt Hospitals Nagpur recently achieved another medical milestone when Dr. Saurabh Jaiswal, lead Consultant – Interventional Radiologist, successfully performed a life-saving Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) on a 61-year-old woman, preventing a potentially fatal complication.
The patient visited Wockhardt Hospitals Nagpur with complaints of persistent abdominal pain. Upon evaluation, her CT Aortogram reports revealed a saccular aneurysm of the infra-renal aorta, a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. An aortic aneurysm occurs when a weakened section of the aorta—the body’s largest blood vessel—begins to bulge outward like a balloon. Often referred to as a “silent killer,” an aneurysm may remain symptomless until it ruptures, leading to life-threatening internal bleeding and a very high risk of mortality.
Recognizing the severity of the condition, the expert team at Wockhardt Hospitals Nagpur quickly planned a minimally invasive treatment strategy. Under the leadership of Dr. Saurabh Jaiswal, the patient underwent an Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair (EVAR), one of the most advanced techniques available today for treating aortic aneurysms.
Traditionally, aneurysm repair required major open surgery involving large incisions, prolonged hospitalization, and an extended recovery period. However, EVAR offers a safer and less invasive alternative. During the procedure, a small incision was made in the patient’s groin. Using advanced imaging guidance, Dr. Jaiswal carefully navigated a thin catheter through the blood vessels to the precise location of the aneurysm.
Once the catheter reached the affected area, a specially designed stent-graft—a fabric-covered metallic mesh tube—was deployed within the aorta. The stent-graft effectively sealed off the aneurysm from the inside, creating a new pathway for blood flow and completely reducing the risk of rupture.
Thanks to the minimally invasive nature of EVAR and the advanced capabilities available at Wockhardt Hospitals Nagpur, the patient’s recovery was remarkably smooth. She was able to start taking liquids within a few hours of the procedure and gradually progressed to a soft diet the following day. Compared to conventional open surgery, she experienced significantly less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a much faster return to her normal daily activities.
Speaking about the case, Dr. Saurabh Jaiswal, Consultant – Interventional Radiologist, Wockhardt Hospitals Nagpur, said, “Early diagnosis and timely intervention are critical in cases of aortic aneurysms. Advanced endovascular techniques such as EVAR allow us to treat complex vascular conditions with greater precision, lower risk, and faster recovery for patients.”
This successful intervention highlights the growing role of minimally invasive vascular procedures in saving lives and improving patient outcomes. It also reflects the commitment of Wockhardt Hospitals Nagpur to bringing world-class healthcare and the latest medical innovations closer to patients.
With highly experienced specialists, cutting-edge technology, and a patient-centric approach, Wockhardt Hospitals Nagpur continues to set new benchmarks in advanced medical care. The successful treatment of this high-risk aneurysm case stands as another testament to the hospital’s dedication to clinical excellence, innovation, and compassionate care, ensuring that patients receive the best possible treatment without having to travel far from home.
