The team of Director Fang Gaoguo of the Peripheral Interventional Department of the First People's Hospital of Pingjiang County operates on the patient.

Red Net Moment, February 11 (Reporter Zhang Meng Correspondent Hong Feiping) Recently, Mr. Tang of Xiaotian Village, Anding Town, Pingjiang County, Yueyang City, Hunan Province, successfully defused an "untimed bomb" at the Peripheral Intervention Department of the First People's Hospital of Pingjiang County.

54-year-old Mr. Tang has been suffering from more than ten years of hypertension of the old disease number, the first day of the new year, Mr. Tang suddenly felt severe chest and back pain unbearable, like being cut by a knife, through the emergency department chest pain green channel rapid diagnosis of B type aortic dissection, which is a catastrophic disease of the cardiovascular system, the mortality rate is extremely high.

Pingjiang County First People's Hospital cardiovascular medicine experts introduced, the aorta is the largest blood vessel in our body, the blood vessel wall is composed of the inner, middle and outer three layers, the dissection is the rupture of the inner membrane of the aortic wall and the rupture of the opening, the blood enters the aortic wall through the break, causing the blood vessel wall to tear and delaminate, forming a "false cavity", the blood flows inside the "false cavity" tear layer, just like burying an "untimed bomb" in the body, the blood vessel may rupture at any time, once ruptured, the doctor does not even have time to rescue. The patient's life is at stake, and surgery is the only life-saving option that requires immediate transfer to the CCU. (Cardiac Intensive Care Unit).

Traditional open surgery to replace artificial blood vessels is a "huge wound" that the body cannot afford. Through the detailed discussion and repeated consideration of the team of Director Gao Guo of the Peripheral Intervention department and the team of director yin Yonghong of the Department of Cardiology, it was decided to implement intraluminal isolation, using stents to block the opening, but the tricky thing is that Mr. Tang's opening is close to the left subclavian artery, this special location adds great difficulty to the operation, this blood vessel is to the brain and upper limbs to supply blood, if directly blocked with stents, it will cause cerebral ischemia and even cerebral infarction, so it must be retained.

So Director Fang Gaoguo of the Department of Peripheral Interventions thought of opening a "small window" on the implanted large stent, and with the accurate grasp of the patient's aortic anatomical position and skillful operation technology, the implanted stent "small window" was aimed at the opening of the left subclavian artery, which not only ensured the normal blood supply of the branch blood vessels, but also blocked the opening and removed the "bomb" that could rupture at any time!

Through the joint efforts of the medical staff of the Emergency Department, Cardiology Department and Peripheral Interventional Department of the First People's Hospital of Pingjiang County, Mr. Tang recovered well and was discharged from the hospital smoothly. Director Fang Gaoguo said that 80% of the aortic dissection is related to hypertension, so patients with hypertension must control their blood pressure. At the same time, remind: cold winter, blood pressure fluctuations, we must pay attention to the combination of work and rest, once there is a sudden severe chest pain, tearing chest and back pain, must not be hard to carry, and early medical treatment!
