In the latest Theatres for Theatres specialist briefing Dr Lee Elliott Major describes a day in theatre where he witnessed a modern day miracle.
Stefan Brew, a neuro-radiologist at Great Ormond Street Hospital, is one of only a few surgeons in the world who performs a highly delicate procedure to cure 'Vein of Galen' - a fatal malformation of blood vessels in the brain.
Dr Elliott Major, Director of Research at The Sutton Trust and father of a former Great Ormond Street Hospital patient, scrubs up and goes into the operating theatre to witness Stefan and his team performing the incredibly intricate, non-invasive technique to cure one year old Dafi of this life-threatening condition.
