Altai News Network (Altai Daily reporter Guzali Abdurexiti intern reporter Zhang Nan) Recently, the Cardiology Department of the District People’s Hospital combined with anesthesia, ultrasound and other departments to successfully implement a congenital heart disease patient. “Ultrasound-guided percutaneous atrial septal defect closure”, this is the first case of minimally invasive interventional closure of congenital heart disease in the whole region, marking that the cardiovascular medicine department of the regional people’s hospital has raised the technical level of complex congenital heart surgery to a new height , made a new breakthrough.
It is understood that the patient is a 44-year-old female who was diagnosed with “congenital heart disease atrial septal defect (secondary foramen type), right ventricular enlargement, tricuspid valve orifice” after ultrasound, CT and other examinations. Mild reflux, mild pulmonary hypertension”. Due to the serious condition of the patient, there is a greater risk of transfer to the hospital. After communicating with the patient’s family, and inviting Sun Bao, an expert from the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular hospital of the autonomous region for remote consultation, the patient was treated with transesophageal ultrasound-guided interventional occlusion on the spot, and the operation was successfully completed. , the patient recovered well after surgery.
According to Qiu Jianjun, deputy director of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of the District People’s Hospital, atrial septal defect is one of the common congenital heart diseases. At present, the overall incidence rate in China is between 1.08‰ and 13.8‰. It can cause ventricular enlargement, lead to heart failure, and even cyanosis, severe hypoxia, infective endocarditis, arrhythmia and other complications. Repair methods include interventional closure and surgical repair. If certain criteria are met, percutaneous atrial septal defect closure has become the preferred method for repairing secondary foraminal atrial septal defects.
In recent years, the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of the Regional People’s Hospital has successively carried out a number of leading new technologies and new projects in the region, such as ablation of atrial fibrillation, implantation of pacemakers, and endovascular isolation of large arteries. Next, the hospital will strengthen personnel training and discipline construction, expand the scope of disease treatment, achieve technological breakthroughs and development, improve the hospital’s comprehensive service capabilities, and do practical work and solve problems for the general public.
