The new heart is transplanted into the patient's right chest, allowing the new heart to assist the original heart to pump blood to meet the body's blood supply! It is reported that this 12-hour "double heart transplant surgery" is very smooth, and the two hearts in the patient's body are normally beating. The patient who underwent a "double heart transplant" was 53 years old and the media did not disclose his name. It is reported that the patient has severe pulmonary hypertension, which causes the heart to be unable to supply blood to the whole body. For 9 years, he has been suffering from severe shortage of blood supply to the heart, and often has symptoms such as angina pectoris. Not long ago, he was at the point where his life was dying. However, the trouble is that even if the patient undergoes a heart transplant and puts on a good heart, his heart can't pump enough blood for the whole body. After repeated trade-offs, the doctor at the Sao Paulo Institute of Cardiology in Brazil decided to perform a striking operation on him - based on the removal of the patient's original damaged heart, and then transplanted another new heart to him. There are 2 hearts running at the same time, and the new heart will help the original heart pump blood to meet the whole body blood supply! On March 4th, the São Paulo Heart Hospital officially implemented this difficult “double heart transplant†for this patient. It is reported that the operation was performed by the famous Brazilian cardiologist Alfred Fiorelli. During the operation, Dr. Fiorelli transplanted a healthy new heart from the donor. The new heart was placed. The patient's chest is on the right side and is connected to his original "old" heart by a man-made blood vessel about 10 cm long, the pulmonary artery, and the aorta, so that the newly implanted heart helps the original heart to supply blood. Dr. Fiorelli said: "Because the patient's lungs are damaged, only one heart can't pump enough blood for the patient's whole body. So we think he is not suitable for ordinary heart transplant surgery, and the only way is to A second heart-assisted pump is placed next to the heart. Since the patient is already on the verge of death, we have to take this rare transplant." It is reported that the entire heart transplant operation lasted for 12 hours. Fortunately, the operation went very smoothly. Immediately after the operation, the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit for 24 hours. According to the surgeon Dr. Fiorelli, the patient's condition is stable and the two hearts in his body are beating normally. In the next two months, this "double-hearted" patient will continue to receive observation and treatment in the hospital. The surgeon, Fiorelli, said: "This is not a routine transplant. The situation is quite special. The 72 hours after surgery is critical for the patient, and the patient will spend the next two months in the artificial environment of the intensive care unit. Without this surgery, the chances of survival for the patient are basically zero.†According to reports, this is the sixth “double heart transplant†performed by the São Paulo Heart Institute in Brazil. According to doctors, after a period of time, the new heart in the patient's body will gradually replace the old heart of the original, until the end of the full burden of pumping blood. Dr. Fiorelli said: "In the end, the healthy heart is expected to take over the main function of the weak old heart, and the latter will jump more slowly over time." But Dr. Fiorelli warned that due to "double heart transplantation Surgery is extremely risky, and this "double-hearted" patient may have a survival chance of only about 50%, while the survival of patients after surgery is usually 10 years. Dr. Fiorelli said: "If it is not a last resort, we generally do not recommend patients to this 'double heart transplant' because the postoperative survival rate is only between 40% and 50%, and the survival rate of traditional heart transplant surgery. Can be as high as 90%." Meditech Medical Network
