Catheter aortic valve replacement technology allows 75 -year -old elderly to restart the "heart door"

Tianshan News (Reporter Su Luping reported) "I thought that life was over, and I did not expect a advanced surgery to give me a second life." On July 1, Xinjiang Medical University Cardiovascular Disease Center, 75 -year -old horsepower (pseudonym ) During the visit, he said that he was replaced by the aortic valve replacement (TAVR surgery) for him to get a new life again.

Fifteen years ago, the horsepower had opened chest surgery due to the stenosis of the aortic valve and replaced the heart valve. In 2021, due to the decline of the valve degradation, symptoms such as heart failure and asthma began to occur, which seriously affected life. When he was seeking medical treatment, he was told that he could not tolerate secondary chest replacement valve due to his complex condition and poor heart and kidney function.

Without changing the valve, there will be a life -threatening; changing the valve, and there is also the risk of surgery. This challenging topic was placed in front of Ma Xiang, director of the Cardiovascular Disease Center of Xinjiang Medical University. "If the heart of the human heart is likely to the house, the valve is like the door, the door cannot be opened and closed, and the blood cannot flow from the heart. The result of the human blood cannot circulate." Ma Xiang said that The door "has been used for 15 years, and the" house "is old and complicated, and it is difficult to replace the new" door "twice, so it belongs to extremely complicated cases. The Xinjiang Medical University Heart Center Treatment Group repeatedly discussed online with experts at home and abroad, formulated surgical plans for horsepower, repeatedly confirmed the choice, positioning, and risk estimation of the valve, and finally decided to implement the aortic valve replacement of the catheter.

On the day of the operation, domestic experts multi -party remote guidance and multiple departments cooperated closely. The duct with a spherical valve gradually deepened from the patient's arterial blood vessels near the heart, and accurately located in millimeters. In the case of constantly jumping, the expansion of the balloon accurately falls in the preset position, expand, and open the "door hole". After the catheter is replaced with the biological valve, it enters again, released, the new "door" is automatically opened and closed, the symptoms of heart failure quickly ease, and the surgery is successful.

"Now you can perform such sophisticated surgery without going out of Xinjiang, as well as medical insurance reimbursement. At the same time, the family's economic burden is greatly alleviated." Ma Li sighed. This surgical trauma is small and recovered quickly. After rehabilitation, he has gradually returned to normal life.

"Aortic valve stenosis is one of the most common and worst valve disease among the elderly." Ma Xiang said that patients with severe aorta stenosis who did not get effective treatment were less than 20%of the 5 -year survival rate, and the effect of drug treatment effect was not ideal. This kind of elderly lesions, which are mainly caused by increased age, are increasing at the moment when the aging process is intensified. "Domestic experts have also participated in a number of domestic clinical research projects for the exploration and R & D department of the aortic valve replacement of the messengers.
