Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital, Noida Extension, has claimed that it has successfully treated a 63-year-old patient from Delhi who was suffering from massive internal bleeding and whose chances of survival were estimated at just 1 per cent.
“During the course of treatment, more than 25 units of blood were transfused. Despite his extremely critical condition, the multidisciplinary team at Yatharth Hospital successfully saved his life through a complex Endovascular Aortic Repair (EVAR) procedure,” the Hospital claimed.
The patient had earlier been denied treatment by two leading hospitals in Delhi due to the severity of his condition.
The patient had been experiencing continuous back pain, weakness, and blood in the stool for nearly two weeks.
Further investigations revealed a severe Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)—a dangerous enlargement of the abdominal aorta, the body’s main blood vessel.
The aneurysm had also caused an Aortoenteric Fistula, an abnormal connection between the aorta and the small intestine, resulting in persistent internal bleeding through the gastrointestinal tract.
As a result, his blood pressure dropped to dangerously low levels, making the condition life-threatening.
Initial endoscopic evaluation detected multiple ulcers in the small intestine, which were temporarily treated using Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) to control the bleeding. However, since the underlying vascular problem remained untreated, the bleeding recurred.
“Before reaching Yatharth Hospital, the patient had already received multiple blood transfusions, but his condition continued to worsen,” the Hospital said.
After being admitted to the Critical Care Unit (CCU) at Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital, Noida Extension, a multidisciplinary team comprising specialists from Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery (CTVS), Gastroenterology, Cardiology, Critical Care, and Internal Medicine jointly evaluated the case and developed a comprehensive treatment plan.
“On June 20, 2026, the patient successfully underwent Endovascular Aortic Repair (EVAR), a minimally invasive procedure that effectively sealed the aneurysm and stopped the life-threatening bleeding,” the Hospital said.
