[Concurrent] Hu Xiang, a patient with cardiac stent surgery

  I feel very good, my heart is open, my heart is no longer stuffy (gas), and my breath is not short.

  [Commentary] Looking at the spirited Uncle Hu in front of him, it is hard to believe that he has just undergone a heart stent operation.

Recalling the state of the old man when he had a sudden heart attack, the family members were still a little frightened.

  This time, the illness was relatively serious, with night sweats, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and shortness of breath. I even threw up and vomited. The symptoms were very serious.

  [Explanation] Hu Xiang, 76, suddenly suffered severe chest pain at home a week ago. After the symptoms could not be relieved for half an hour, he was sent by his family to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University. After a comprehensive examination by a cardiologist, the patient was diagnosed. For acute myocardial infarction, stenting is the preferred method to resolve stenosis.

After communicating with the patient's family, the doctor decided to apply the IVUS (intravascular ultrasound)-OCT (optical coherence tomography) integrated machine to perform the interventional operation of the diseased vascular under the guidance of the whole process.

  [Explanation] At 9:00 a.m. on September 5th, Professor Yu Bo of the Cardiovascular Hospital of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University led a team to use new technology to perform surgery on patients, and the whole process only took 20 minutes.

The success of the operation also made Hu Xiang the first patient in the world to be guided by the IVUS (intravascular ultrasound)-OCT (optical coherence tomography) integrated machine to guide the whole process of cardiac stent intervention.

  [Explanation] In the ward, Uncle Hu learned in detail about the new technology of stenting his heart from Professor Yu Bo.

It is understood that IVUS (intravascular ultrasound) and OCT (optical coherence tomography), as intravascular imaging detection technologies, are the "gold standard" for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease. The two have complementary roles in basic principles, clinical applications and characteristics. Sometimes the cause of coronary heart disease is diagnosed, and patients have to undergo two intravascular imaging tests, IVUS (intravascular ultrasound) and OCT (optical coherence tomography).

The IVUS (intravascular ultrasound)-OCT (optical coherence tomography) integrated machine can realize two intravascular imaging examinations with one catheter and one scanning imaging.

  Now very high-end two modalities, light and sound are fully integrated into one machine.

Intravascular ultrasound and intravascular OCT can be combined completely. There is no need to repeatedly pull two pictures as we want to see two pictures, and we all know that it does not would be perfectly matched in the same plane, but this one is in a conduit and it is perfectly matched.

  [Explanation] According to reports, using the IVUS (intravascular ultrasound)-OCT (optical coherence tomography) integrated machine for interventional surgery, a catheter is used to pull back at one time, and the diagnostic view of the blood vessel at the same time can be obtained immediately. The three-dimensional cavity wall information of the vascular structure and the nature of the lesions helps doctors to choose the method of coronary intervention more conveniently and accurately.

  And we guide our technical treatment based on such a lesion, whether it is to install a stent, or to do a balloon, or not to do it.

In the whole practice (in), we choose the size of the stent, whether it sticks to the wall, whether it expands, whether there is tearing, etc. after selecting the stent, it can be seen very well.

  [Explanation] Professor Yu Bo said that the IVUS (intravascular ultrasound)-OCT (optical coherence tomography) integrated machine is completely independently developed by my country, which reflects that my country can independently go international in the research and development of innovative medical devices, and realizes the transition from Made in China to Created in China leap.
