Pan Hongwei’s team successfully completed the operation for Mr. Xiao.
On the first day after the operation, Pan Hongwei’s team made ward rounds and Mr. Xiao recovered well.
Red Net Moment News, August 13th (Correspondent Hu Zun and Wu Juan) 65-year-old Xiao Laobo in Zhuzhou, Hunan Province has a history of coronary heart disease for many years. He has coronary artery stenosis and calcified lesions. He has been hospitalized more than ten times in six years and has been implanted successively. He had 8 coronary stents and was hospitalized repeatedly due to multiple blockages in the coronary stents in the past two years. His chronic chest pain and chronic illness made him miserable. Recently, shock wave balloon technology (Coronary Artery Intravascular Calcification Fragmentation System) was launched in the Central and Southern Region of China. Mr. Xiao received treatment with this new technology in the Cardiology Department of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, becoming the first shock wave balloon in the hospital. beneficiaries of capsule technology.
“I finally don’t have to worry about recurring chest pain, and I feel relieved.” After the operation, Mr. Xiao held the hand of Pan Hongwei, director of the third ward of the Department of Cardiology, and said gratefully.
When Mr. Xiao was admitted to the hospital, the doctor learned that because he suffered from uremia, he needed long-term dialysis. His calcium and phosphorus imbalance in the body made him prone to hardening of the arteries and intravascular deposition of calcified plaques, which made it difficult for the originally implanted coronary stent to After complete expansion, the lumen of the coronary artery became smaller, causing repeated restenosis and blockage. Therefore, in the past two years, Mr. Xiao was repeatedly hospitalized for internal blockage of the coronary stent, which had a great impact on his life and psychology. After discussion,
Pan Hongwei’s team believed that Mr. Xiao’s condition could be treated using shock wave balloon technology. On August 9, Pan Hongwei's team successfully performed the surgery on Xiao Laobo. Under the precise evaluation of intracavitary imaging, combined with mature shock wave lithotripsy and balloon angioplasty technology, acoustic pressure waves were delivered to the calcified site through the balloon catheter. The use of intermittent pulse mechanical energy release can avoid damage to blood vessels while targetedly destroying deep calcification lesions on the blood vessel intima and blood vessel walls, solving the problem that has troubled Mr. Xiao for a long time. The operation took less than 30 minutes. After the operation, Mr. Xiao recovered well and had no more chest pain. He was successfully discharged from the hospital today.
Pan Hongwei said that the incidence of coronary artery calcification lesions is increasing year by year. Vascular calcification is characterized by abnormal deposition of excess calcium and phosphorus on the blood vessel wall, reduced arterial elasticity, lumen stenosis, etc., which can easily induce acute cardiovascular events, and the risk of coronary interventional treatment is The difficulty of the operation and the risk of related complications are greatly increased. At the same time, calcified lesions are high-resistance lesions that are difficult to fully expand with traditional balloon therapy. High-pressure balloons are usually required to use higher pressure to expand, so blood vessels are prone to problems such as dissection, perforation, rupture, and no-reflow. In addition, calcified lesions are prone to incomplete stent expansion, poor adhesion, and irregular stent deformation after stent placement, leading to risks such as intra-stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis. Just like Mr. Xiao, although 8 stent implants were implanted, The stent was used, but the chest pain still persisted.
Pan Hongwei introduced that the shock wave balloon technology transfers electrical energy to the transmitter, generates "sound waves" through the transmitter, and uses the balloon to "beat" the calcifications in the blood vessels through the air, causing the calcification foci to fragment. This allows the bracket to be opened more fully, achieving the effect of " beating the cow across the mountain". Coronary intravascular shock wave balloon catheter is a new tool for the treatment of vascular calcification. It has the advantages of simple and efficient operation and less pain for patients. Hunan Provincial People's Hospital has become one of the first hospitals in the central and southern regions of the country to implement this technology, marking a new level of interventional treatment for coronary calcium in the hospital.
