Aortabråcksoperation
Varje år opereras 1300 personer i Sverige för aortabråck. Pulsådern har vidgats så att kärlväggen blir tunn och kan brista. Oftast sitter bråcket i buken, men i patienten Erik Rönnqvists fall är det längre ner. Erik och kärlkirurgerna Magnus Johnsson och Carl-Magnus Wahlgen, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, deltar i ett avsnitt av ”Fråga doktorn” i SVT.

När behöver åderbråck opereras?
Åderbråck i benens vener orsakas av att klaffarna i blodkärlen fungerar dåligt. Fenomenet är vanligt men de flesta har inga besvär. – Några få drabbas av allvarligare biverkningar med svårläkta sår i huden och då kan operation ibland vara nödvändig, säger Joy Roy, överläkare vid Karolinska universitetssjukhuset och docent i kärlkirurgi vid MMK.
