Miracle at Moscati: 95-year-old woman suffering from a severe stroke saved by a record-breaking operation.

Avellino – A high-precision operation and a race against time that ended in the best possible way. This is the story of 95-year-old Guglielmina, saved by doctors at the San Giuseppe Moscati Hospital in Avellino after suffering a severe ischemic stroke in her home in Lioni.

The serious clinical situation was caused by the sudden occlusion of a large cerebral artery, a particularly complex condition, compounded by underlying conditions such as diabetes. The emergency response team proved crucial: the prompt transport to the hospital and the synergy between the various operational units of the Irpinia facility allowed for rapid action.

The head of the Stroke Unit, Dr. Florindo D'Onofrio, having assessed the severity of the situation and obtained the family's consent, decided to proceed with a mechanical thrombectomy. Using this cutting-edge endovascular procedure, the medical team successfully aspirated the clot, removed the obstruction, and restored proper blood flow to the brain.

The successful operation allowed for an extraordinarily rapid recovery: just a few days after her illness, the patient's clinical condition was so stable that she was discharged and returned home to her loved ones. This result demonstrates the excellence and efficiency of the emergency care network for time-dependent conditions in the area.
