China News Service, August 25 (Chen Jing, Jiang Rong) A 13-day-old baby is suffering from congenital heart disease and heart tumor.
Experts from the National Children’s Medical Center (Shanghai) and Shanghai Children’s Medical Center, Shanghai Children’s Medical Center Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine’s Specialist Specialist Outpatient Department “made a dojo in a screw shell” on an egg-sized heart, and successfully removed it and almost filled it. The whole right atrium tumor, the child was saved.
It is reported that the tumor in the heart of the child is a fibrous/myofibroblastic tumor, which is a soft tissue tumor. It is very rare in the heart and there are few reports.
Xinxin (a pseudonym) born in a normal childbirth had bruises on her body at birth, and her breathing was slightly rapid.
After leaving the hospital and returning home, the child's bruising was more obvious, his lips began to grow black, the cry was fine like mosquitoes, and his hands and feet were cold.
Xinxin mother took her child to the hospital for examination and found that Xinxin had congenital heart disease combined with heart tumors.
But the local doctor could not handle it.
At the Shanghai Children’s Medical Center, Dr. He Xiaomin from the Specialist Clinic on Sunday told reporters that the results of the echocardiography showed that the tumor in the new heart had exceeded 2 cm and almost filled the entire right atrium. The blood oxygen saturation was also gradually decreasing, and the heart rate was increasing. The faster, the more rapid the breathing.
The tumor is like a time bomb, which may take away this new life at any time.
Experts in cardiothoracic surgery urgently conducted preoperative discussions, quickly organized emergency "bomb disposal", and spared no effort to treat the new.
According to reports, since the heart and tumor occupies most of the right atrium, the establishment of cardiopulmonary bypass seems difficult, and the operation is as difficult as walking on thin ice.
According to reports, during the operation, experts discovered that the "time bomb" was hidden in the abnormally swollen right atrium.
After further opening the heart cavity, the doctor found that the tumor had completely blocked the tricuspid valve, causing the blood flow to the right ventricle to be blocked, and the blood could not go to the lungs for oxygenation.
After more than two hours of thrilling breakthroughs, the doctors finally removed the tumor from the child's heart.
After the operation, Xinxin recovered very smoothly under the meticulous treatment and care of the intensive care unit.
It is reported that, as one of the world's largest infant and childhood heart disease diagnosis and treatment centers, Shanghai Children's Medical Center completes nearly 4,000 thoracotomy operations every year, of which more than 50% are children with complex and critical congenital heart disease.
It is understood that for children with tumors, the hospital's experts adopt multidisciplinary joint diagnosis and treatment, individualized and precise treatment, and the minimum age for neonatal heart tumor surgery is only 9 days after birth.
