Qingyu Wu successfully performed curative surgery for patients with Williams syndrome

The population incidence of williams syndrome is 1/20,000, and it is familiar with its characteristic "elf" face. In fact, it is a disease caused by genetic defects.

Xiao Wang, 14 years old this year, is such a patient. At the age of 5, Xiao Wang underwent surgery for severe stenosis on the aortic valve and widened the aortic artery part. Today, 10 years later, the once-widened aorta is once again a narrowed part, affecting the passage of blood flow. To make matters worse, she also had concomitant endocarditis, with clumps of bacteria growing on the aortic and mitral valves, and few remained to erode both valves. The function of the heart is getting worse and worse, and the patient's condition is also decreasing. Family members searched all over the major cardiovascular hospitals and said they couldn't do anything about it. Finally, under the guidance of a doctor from a large cardiovascular hospital in Beijing, he came to our hospital, hoping to find a way to solve the patient's patients.

After active and full preparation, Professor Wu Qingyu repeatedly studied the patient's condition and believed that the patient still had the opportunity to be cured by surgery. Therefore, after full preoperative preparation, Professor Wu Qingyu personally undertook the operation for the patient 3 days ago.

The operation not only relieved the patient of the stenosis of the aorta, but also repaired the damaged mitral valve and replaced the infunctioning aortic valve. After the operation, the patient recovered smoothly and the heart function was significantly improved. The patient recovered and was discharged from the hospital 10 days after the operation.
