In the cardiovascular medicine ward of Sanshui District People's Hospital, 54-year-old Mr. Wei can already get out of bed on his own, and his body is gradually recovering. Just over a week ago, he just underwent a 6-hour-long heart surgery, stopping his heart from beating for more than an hour in order to repair the heart's "atrium door" and get the heart's "engine" back to normal work.
The company's main business is the development of a new product, which will be a new product. The doctor of the Department of Cardiology of Sanshui District People's Hospital conducted an ultrasound examination for Mr. Wei and found that the valve between his left atrium and ventricle was severely damaged.
"The valve is like the door of the heart, the door is not closed tightly, the left ventricle blood backflow into the left atrium, which can lead to serious heart failure or even sudden death. " Sanshui District People's Hospital Vice President, Director of Cardiovascular Medicine Li Wanquan said that this situation can not rely on drug therapy to solve, only through heart surgery to repair or replace the heart valve.
On the 5th day after the surgery, Mr. Wei could already walk on the ground alone, and his heart function was improving. Wei Ying photo
On July 23, the cardiac surgery team of the heart center of Sanshui District People's Hospital and the cardiac surgery team of Professor Yao Jianping of the First Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University performed surgery on Mr. Wei together.
After general anesthesia, the chest cavity was opened, extracorporeal circulation was established, the heart was stopped, the right atrium was cut open, and the left atrium was accessed through the interatrial septum to find the damaged valve and then repaired. "In the process of repairing the valve, the heart needs to stop beating, and the patient's heart is stopped for more than an hour through cardioprotective fluid, and this period is all worked by the extracorporeal circulation system instead of the patient's heart. " Li Wanquan introduced that the human heart is only the size of a fist, its own blood vessels are numerous and complex structure, the difficulty and refinement requirements of the operation can be imagined. After more than six hours, Mr. Wei's heart "atrium" was successfully repaired.
On the fifth day after the surgery, Mr. Wei could already walk on the ground alone and his heart function was improving. "The pain from the surgical wound is not strong, and the shortness of breath has disappeared. " Mr. Wei said he recovered quickly under the careful care of the medical staff.
"Mr. Wei's heart function can basically return to normal, and after discharge from the hospital, not only will it not affect daily life and work, but his labor endurance will also be better than before the surgery. " Li Wanquan said that details determine success or failure, and only through the multidisciplinary collaboration of the extracardiac team, extracorporeal circulation, anesthesia care, esophageal ultrasound and postoperative monitoring could the operation finally be successful.
This is the first time the Sanshui District People's Hospital has carried out cardiac surgery, in the past this type of complex level four surgery had to be referred to provincial and municipal hospitals to carry out. "At present, the country's county and district level tertiary general hospitals can carry out this type of surgery is very little." Li Wanquan said the hospital recently admitted another 60-year-old patient, and will soon carry out the second case of heart valve replacement surgery.
In addition, Li Wanquan revealed that in order to better guard the heart health of Sanshui and the surrounding public, Sanshui District People's Hospital is vigorously preparing to build a heart center, cardiovascular medicine, cardiac surgery, anesthesiology, ultrasound and interventional center composed of multidisciplinary forces, will jointly form a heart center MDT team to achieve the "doorstep" to save the heart. To further enhance the regional emergency critical care capability.
