Recently, the Department of Cardiovascular and Major Vascular Surgery of Sunshine Fusion Hospital successfully completed a low-weight and high-risk complex and severe valve replacement.

The patient is a 56-year-old woman with rheumatic heart disease for more than 20 years. Her daily light activities lead to dyspnea, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. He was hospitalized for frequent heart failure attacks in the local area, and was later admitted to the Cardiac and Great Vascular Surgery Department of the hospital. When he came to the hospital, his weight was only 42kg.

After admission, the examination prompts were: severe mitral stenosis, massive tricuspid regurgitation, maximum left atrial diameter >100mm, the left ventricle was very small only 29mm, the heart was enlarged significantly, and the cardiothoracic ratio was 0.9. “The proportion of the patient’s heart in the transverse diameter of the thoracic cavity is almost 100%, while that of normal people is about 45%, and more than 70% is a huge heart. The patient’s physique is very thin, and the condition is serious and rare. The huge right ventricle and severe pulmonary hypertension can be seen at any time. Faced with life-threatening, and prone to low cardiac output syndrome after surgery, the risk is very high, but surgery is the only way to solve this disease.” Director Zheng Jianwei said.

Before the operation, Director Zheng Jianwei conducted a comprehensive assessment for the patient, organized a consultation to discuss the patient’s condition and formulated a surgical plan. In the case of high risk and technical difficulty, patients and their families give full trust to medical staff.

With full cooperation, it took 4 hours to successfully complete the “Mechanical Mitral Valve Replacement with Leaflet Preservation + Tricuspid Valvuloplasty + Implantation of Right Ventricular Surface Temporary Pacemaker”. The tracheal intubation was pulled out within 24 days after the operation, and the patient returned to the general ward after his vital signs were stable. After two weeks of drug treatment and routine care, the patient recovered well.

The successful implementation of this high-risk, complex and severe valve replacement demonstrates the outstanding performance of the Cardiac and Great Vascular Surgery Team of Sunshine Fusion Hospital.
