Interventional treatment for Correction heart disease patients with coronary heart disease open up the life channel

In just 60 seconds, when the balloon coated with special drugs stayed fully at the lesion site and applied the drug to the wall of the lesion blood vessels, the stinging pain on the chest and back that had troubled the patient for a long time disappeared.

3 days ago, the 75-year-old patient, Mr. Chi, visited the Department of Cardiology due to repeated chest pain, , chest tightness, and his activity endurance significantly decreased to . Heilongjiang Far East Cardiovascular Hospital, . After examination, Mr. Chi was diagnosed with coronary heart disease. After the diagnosis of coronary angiography, drug balloon dilation is planned, and the blood vessels blocked by Mr. Chi were successfully opened.

Coronary heart disease frequently occurs and suffers from torture

Mr. Chi was hospitalized at Harbin Medical University Hospital for pre-branch lowering stent treatment due to angina pectoris four years ago, and he also took medicine on time and designated locations after he was discharged. In the past two years, Mr. Chi's chest tightness has repeated and often occurred, accompanied by shortness of breath, and pain in his chest and back from time to time, especially when he was active.

Uncle Chi said: "I like physical exercise very much. Because I have taken the stent, I have to change to walking slowly in recent years. I have to take 10,000 steps a day." After the activity recently, Uncle Chi developed chest pain, chest tightness, shortness of breath, etc. when he walked slowly. He rested in place for a few minutes, and the symptoms could disappear by themselves.

"But I obviously felt that the attacks were getting more and more frequent." Uncle Chi said, "I was cooking that afternoon, and suddenly I felt my chest hurt like a needle. I sat down and slowed down and didn't get better. It was very different from the past." The increasingly obvious pain made Uncle Chi realize that he needed to go to the hospital for systematic treatment. At the suggestion of a friend, he came to Heilongjiang Far East Cardiovascular Hospital. The treatment was received on the same day by Professor Liu Heping, director of the Department of Cardiology. After consultation and examination, Mr. Chi was diagnosed with coronary heart disease and needed hospitalization.

Balloon therapy can easily eliminate symptoms

Professor Liu Heping is the deputy director of Heilongjiang Far East Cardiovascular Hospital, the leader of the Department of Cardiology and the director of the Department of Cardiology. He has been engaged in clinical, scientific research and teaching for many years and has accumulated rich clinical experience.

After Mr. Chi was admitted to the hospital, Professor Liu Heping led the team to conduct a detailed evaluation of the patient's condition, and recommended coronary angiography to determine the degree of stenosis of the coronary artery and perform drug balloon dilation surgery.

After communicating with the family, Mr. Chi was sent to the interventional catheter room. Coronary angiography showed that Mr. Chi left main trunk LM: patency; left anterior descending branch LAD: mid-section stent is unobstructed, diagonal branch stenosis is 90%; left circumcision branch LCX: mid-section stenosis is 30%. Right crown RCA: mid-section narrowing is 50%. Professor Liu Heping's team used a special guidewire for cardiac blood vessels to establish orbits through diagonal branch lesions, and used appropriate pre-expanded balloons according to the thickness of the blood vessels to fully expand the narrow lesion, try to expand the blood vessel to the original diameter, and finally send it to the balloon coated with special drugs to the lesion site for 60 seconds to expand the drug fully applied to the wall of the lesion blood vessel.

The day after the operation, Mr. Chi was able to go to the ground to move freely. He no longer had chest tightness and chest pain attacks during the activity, and his physical condition recovered well.

3 Coronary heart disease attack should seek medical attention in time

Department of Cardiology and Cerebrovascular Hospital, Heilongjiang Far East Cardiovascular Hospital, introduced that coronary heart disease is a common chronic disease. Because coronary artery angiovascular atherosclerotic disease occurs, the lumen becomes narrow or occluded, resulting in myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, affecting the function of the heart, manifested as chest tightness, chest pain, shortness of breath, asthma and other symptoms. The symptoms of coronary heart disease are closely related to the degree and number of coronary artery stenosis , and can produce angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia , heart failure , and even sudden death of . Once these problems arise, you must come to the hospital in time and do not delay the operation.

The main treatment methods for coronary heart disease include drug treatment, interventional treatment and surgical treatment.Interventional treatment is to identify the lesions through coronary angiography, dilate the balloon in the severe stenosis, and then place a stent to make the coronary artery unblock and improve myocardial ischemia. Its biggest advantage is that it does not have to open your chest, it is safe and painless. After treatment, the patient's symptoms such as chest pain and chest tightness will be significantly relieved or completely eliminated, and the vast majority of patients' work and life abilities after surgery can be completely restored to the pre-morbid level.
