On September 19, the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of Ma'an Campus of Yilong County General Hospital successfully carried out coronary angiography and stent implantation independently. It marks that the hospital has taken a solid step in the field of interventional treatment and achieved a new breakthrough in technology.
The patient suffered from symptoms such as chest tightness and breathlessness for a long time, and the cause could not be determined by several out-of-hospital examinations. Recently, the patient's symptoms worsened and he came to the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of Ma'an Hospital, and after careful diagnosis and treatment by the attending physician Zhao Jing and other expert teams, combined with auxiliary examinations, he was diagnosed with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. In order to alleviate the patient's pain in time, the hospital decided to perform coronary angiography and stenting for the patient immediately. The operation was successfully carried out in the intervention room of Ma'an Hospital on the morning of September 19, with local anesthesia throughout the whole process, with little trauma and fast recovery. During the operation, the expert team successfully performed coronary angiography and stent implantation for the patient with superb technology and rich experience, effectively restoring cardiac blood flow. After the operation, the patient's symptoms were significantly relieved, marking the complete success of the operation.
The successful development of this operation is not only a reflection of the technical strength of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine in Ma'an Hospital, but also a strong proof of the hospital's ability to independently carry out interventional diagnosis and treatment. Compared with other medical institutions in the jurisdiction that need to hire external experts or refer to higher-level hospitals, the rapid response and independent operation ability of the expert team in Ma'an Hospital greatly ensure the timeliness of patient treatment, and also save patients valuable medical expenses.
Popular science tips for coronary intervention
Coronary intervention is a kind of surgery under local anesthesia and wakefulness, in which a catheter is sent to the opening of the heart blood vessel by puncture of the arterial blood vessel and injected with contrast agent to detect the stenosis or occlusion of the heart blood vessels, and further treatment is carried out through balloon dilation, stent implantation and other methods to restore cardiac blood flow.
Advantages of coronary intervention
1. Small trauma: stent surgery is a minimally invasive surgery that is completed through local anesthesia and catheter intervention, which is less invasive to the body.
2. Fast postoperative recovery: After stent surgery, patients can resume daily life and work in a short period of time, which has little impact on quality of life.
3. Better postoperative effect: stent surgery can effectively improve the symptoms of coronary heart disease, improve the quality of life, and reduce the risk of recurrence of cardiovascular disease.
Indications for coronary angiography
1. Suspected or known coronary heart disease: such as chest pain or angina, abnormal electrocardiogram, elevated troponin, etc.
2. Myocardial infarction: Acute myocardial infarction requires urgent coronary angiography.
3. Arrhythmias: Some arrhythmias may be related to coronary artery disease, such as supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, etc.
4. Valvular heart disease: such as mitral regurgitation, which may lead to left ventricular enlargement and pulmonary edema, coronary angiography is required to evaluate the coronary blood supply.
5. Evaluate the surgical treatment plan: for example, coronary angiography is needed to assess the degree of coronary artery disease before heart bypass surgery.
