Dahe.com News Recently, Grandpa Qing (pseudonym), who lives in Huiji District, Zhengzhou City, successfully performed dual-chamber permanent pacemaker implantation at the northern campus of Zhengzhou Third People’s Hospital. He He also became the first patient to benefit after the hospital implemented the Henan Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau’s centralized procurement price requirements for permanent pacemakers.

Mr. Qing is 88 years old this year. He came to Zhengzhou Third People's Hospital for treatment due to symptoms such as syncope, unsteadiness, and fatigue. After physical examination and auxiliary examinations, he was diagnosed with intermittent second-degree type II atrioventricular block. Bai Dongyang, deputy chief physician of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of the hospital, led the cardiovascular medicine team of the northern campus to discuss and recommended the insertion of a dual-chamber permanent pacemaker. However, the family members considered the patient's advanced age, risks of pacemaker insertion, economics and other reasons. , or be discharged first after the condition is stable.

The outpatient doctor of Zhengzhou Third Hospital continued to pay attention to Grandpa Qing’s condition. After consultation with family members and patients, he finally decided to install the pacemaker .

When Mr. Qing was admitted to the hospital, the centralized procurement of pacemakers was implemented in Zhengzhou. After the centralized procurement, the price of the selected pacemaker products dropped by about 50% on average, and Mr. Qing was able to enjoy the preferential price.

After careful preoperative preparation, the cardiovascular medicine team led by Bai Dongyang successfully inserted a dual-chamber permanent pacemaker into the patient and was discharged from the hospital 7 days after the operation.

"I didn't expect the policy to be implemented so solidly. It saved me nearly 30,000 yuan!" Grandpa Qing said gratefully.

Permanent cardiac pacemaker implantation is a minimally invasive cardiac interventional surgery. Bai Dongyang introduced that the pacemaker electrode is inserted into the heart cavity through the veins, and the connected pulse generator is placed in the subcutaneous bag of the chest. The pulse generator can monitor the patient's heartbeat year-round. When slow heartbeat occurs, the pulse generator will send out electrical stimulation signals to drive the heart to beat through the pacemaker electrode, which can avoid symptoms and risks such as dizziness, syncope, and sudden death due to severe bradycardia .

"Permanent pacemaker implantation has the advantages of small surgical incision, local anesthesia, and no thoracotomy, and is relatively safe and reliable. Currently, permanent pacemaker implantation is the only effective method for symptoms caused by severe bradycardia. Treatment method." Bai Dongyang said.

Bai Dongyang said that this pacemaker purchase is mainly for dual-chamber permanent pacemakers, and most of the mainstream products commonly used in clinical practice at Zhengzhou Third People's Hospital were selected. The implementation of this centralized procurement of high-value medical consumables has greatly reduced patients’ medical burden and brought tangible benefits to patients.

It is understood that the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Northern Campus of Zhengzhou Third Hospital can perform coronary angiography and drug balloon/drug-eluting stent implantation in addition to permanent pacemaker implantation (single-chamber, double-chamber). , radiofrequency ablation treatment of tachyarrhythmia (atrial fibrillation, atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter, atrial premature, ventricular premature , ventricular tachycardia, etc.), and heart failure , large heart ICD (cardiover defibrillator) and CRT-P/D (cardiac resynchronization pacemaker) interventional therapy.
