Overview

  • Alejandra Oliveras has been in the ICU at Hospital José María Cullen since July 14 and underwent an emergency decompressive craniectomy on July 16 to relieve intracranial pressure.
  • Medical team confirms irreversible injury to one cerebral hemisphere and maintains that her life–threatening risk remains high despite stable vital signs.
  • She continues on mechanical respiratory support with tailored sedation, hydration, nutrition and constant neurological monitoring to preserve organ function.
  • Doctors attribute the severity of her stroke to uncontrolled hypertension, significant right carotid artery disease and delayed arrival outside the acute treatment window.
  • Her absence from the Santa Fe constitutional convention has triggered provisional replacement procedures as clinicians evaluate her long-term neurological prognosis.
