Further thoracic surgery and a fibrobronchoscopy are being considered by his care team.

Overview

  • Medina is sedated in intensive care at Hospital Mariano y Luciano de la Vega, hemodynamically stable without pressor drugs and with a reserved prognosis, according to family-shared updates.
  • Doctors previously removed his spleen and reconstructed his rib cage in a multi-hour operation supported by specialists from Hospital Bicentenario through the provincial surgical network.
  • His lungs are described as the most compromised organ, and clinicians are evaluating additional thoracic interventions alongside a planned fibrobronchoscopy.
  • Relatives and his ex-partner Daniela Celis are issuing daily updates, sustaining prayer chains and coordinating blood donations for his treatment in Moreno.
  • The 22-year-old was critically injured on September 12 in a motorcycle crash on Route 7 in Moreno involving a Chevrolet Corsa, and police and prosecutors continue to investigate the collision.
