18 Menschen warten auf Hirnaneurysma-Behandlung: Land OÖ gibt Antwort im Landtag

Brain aneurysms can be life-threatening, especially if a hemorrhage occurs. The Upper Austrian Parliament therefore inquired: How many patients in Upper Austria are currently waiting for surgical or interventional treatment of a brain aneurysm? The answer: Approximately 200 cases are treated annually at the Kepler University Hospital. According to the information provided, there are currently 18 patients on the surgical waiting list. There are also patients on the neuroradiological waiting list. In a follow-up question, the MFG (presumably a media outlet) wanted to know: Why are these procedures not currently being performed? Is it due to staff shortages, a lack of operating room capacity, or other bottlenecks? The answer from the responsible Deputy Governor was brief: The timing of treatment depends on medical necessity. Watch now and see for yourself.
