Shanghai Jinshan, an octogenarian patient implanted the world's smallest pacemaker, the night of the operation can get out of bed, so this is in the end a kind of high-tech it? It is understood that the old man because of repeated dizziness and fainting, so only after the hospital examination, the old man suffers from a high degree of atrioventricular block, the heart rate of only 30 times per minute, that is to say, the old man suffers from serious heart disease, he lived in this hospital in Shanghai, under the leadership of the director of internal medicine in a hospital, the operation of the team before they after repeated discussions, fully communicated with the patients' families. After that, the surgical program for this patient decided to implant a new generation of dual-chamber leadless pacemaker.
The most surprising thing is that the surgery was performed under local anesthesia, in fact, general cardiac surgery requires general anesthesia, but for the doctors in this hospital, this kind of surgery does not require general anesthesia, and the whole surgery took only half an hour, and the patient's recovery after the surgery was very good, and he could get out of bed and resume his normal life on the same night, in fact, this kind of leadless pacemaker is directly inserted into the heart cavity, without the need for intravenous implantation. In fact, this kind of wire-free pacemaker directly into the heart cavity, without the need for intravenous implantation of endocardial electrodes, thus avoiding the traditional pacemaker surgical scar and other diseases, the most critical is the implantation of almost no erection, the patient's postoperative activities are not restricted at all, the quality of life than before obviously to improve a lot.
I personally feel that this kind of surgery can be fully advocated, because there are a lot of such heart disease patients in the country, if they are able to do this kind of surgery, then their quality of life will be much better than before, so we hope that this product can be incorporated into the clinic in the shortest possible time, put into use, which can reduce the financial burden of patients, but also for more cardiovascular disease patients to get the The latest medical technology, I believe that many people are in the headache for this disease, then this leadless pacemaker if widely used, many people should be able to suffer.
