Recently, Fan Taibing, director of the Children's Heart Center of Fuwai Huazhong Cardiovascular Disease Hospital, Liang Weijie, deputy chief physician, and other experts successfully performed a complete reconstruction of the aortic valve three-valve lobe for a 12-year-old young patient using Ozaki technology, so that he regained his "heart".
Rui rui, a 12-year-old patient from Pingdingshan, was taking physical education class at school 4 months ago when he suddenly felt palpitations. After an ultrasound at the local hospital, the doctor gave a definitive diagnosis of congenital heart disease, aortic stenosis, and aortic valve insufficiency.
This diagnosis startled Rarity's entire family. The doctor explained that congenital heart disease has always existed, and the reason why it does not show symptoms is because the child is still young.
As your child's height and weight increase, the heart load becomes heavier and heavier, and the symptoms will slowly manifest. Now, your child's symptoms are so obvious that if you don't have surgery as soon as possible, you may be at risk of heart failure.
Experts immediately suggested that the child should be taken to a higher-level hospital as soon as possible. After many inquiries, the family took Ruirui to Fuwai Huazhong Cardiovascular Disease Hospital for treatment.
After receiving the treatment team, Fan Taibing found that the conventional treatment of pediatric aortic valve disease was not suitable for Ruirui. Due to long-term large reflux, the aortic valve has been abnormally thickened and contracted into a clump, can not play the role of valve closure, it is impossible to repair on the original basis and the child's aortic valve ring has not yet developed to the size of a normal adult, if you want to perform artificial mechanical valve replacement, not only to anticoagulation therapy later, and as she grows older, the replacement valve does not persist in her adulthood.
In view of the complicated condition, Fan Taibing specially organized a discussion of difficult cases for the child. After in-depth research and discussion, everyone agreed that Ozaki technology is most suitable for Ruirui's situation.
Ozaki is an advanced cardiac surgery technique that uses the patient's own pericardial tablets, which are specially treated to make aortic valve lobes and reconstruct and repair the aortic valves.
Once everything is ready, the procedure is performed as planned. After the surgery was successfully completed, the small heart with the new "valve" beat vigorously. Intraoperative ultrasound prompt: the reconstructed leaflet function is very good, the valve orifice is unobstructed, and there is no reflux.
After the operation, Rui rui had stable vital signs, and the next day he was transferred from the intensive care unit back to the general ward, and has now recovered and been discharged from the hospital.
Fan Taibing said that the Ozaki technique has few postoperative complications, a low incidence of medium- and long-term adverse events, and a 10-year re-intervention rate of less than 10%, which can avoid and delay the time of aortic valve replacement.
