We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking achievement at RSUP Prof Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah, where a recent high-complexity intervention utilizing WEGO Medical’s flagship product, the Visee Spring Coil, was performed with remarkable success. This marks a historic moment as the first-ever case in Indonesia where carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCF) were treated through the superior ophthalmic vein route, showcasing the debut of the Visee Spring Coil in the Indonesian market.
The patient, a 32-year-old male, initially presented symptoms such as protruding eyes, redness, headaches, and nausea, later diagnosed as Type A CCF by the esteemed medical team at RSUP Prof Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah. CCF, known for its challenging arteriovenous malformation, presented significant risks and complexities in surgical treatment.
Under the leadership of Dr. Affan Priyambodo, Chief Medical Officer and neurosurgeon at RSUP Prof Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah, the surgery adopted a pioneering approach utilizing the superior ophthalmic vein with WEGO’s Visee Spring Coil to effectively occlude the fistula. While the operation concluded with resounding success, the medical team continues to closely monitor the patient’s vision and eye pressure.
Dr. Affan expresses profound satisfaction with the surgical outcome and eagerly anticipates showcasing the Visee Spring Coil at the upcoming Indonesian Neurointerventional Conference in April. This groundbreaking achievement not only signifies a significant leap forward in medical technology but also sets the stage for the widespread adoption of WEGO’s innovative solutions throughout Indonesia.
Stay tuned as we embark on this journey of remarkable advancements in healthcare, with WEGO Medical at the forefront of driving transformative change in Indonesia’s medical landscape!
