Doctors of the Research Institute of Cardiology and Internal Diseases of the Ministry of Health have applied a unique technique in the treatment of a complex case.As a result of a complex operation, a 64-year-old patient was given the opportunity to live a new, healthy life. Progressive heart failure (atrial fibrillation of only 27%) and severe damage to the main vessel of the heart - the trunk of the left coronary artery required serious intervention.The doctors used a unique technique. Instead of a standard operation, she underwent treatment using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, an external auxiliary circulatory device (ECMO), which was first used in the clinic.Initially, a cannula was inserted into the femoral artery and vein to begin the procedure of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. From that moment on, the device took over the pumping of blood and gas exchange in the lungs. The patient's blood entered the oxygenator, was saturated with oxygen and returned back to the body. All this time, the process of vital support of the body was controlled by anesthesiologists and intensive care specialists.At the next stage, interventional cardiologists installed a stent in the trunk of the left coronary artery and its branches, which allowed it to maintain its walls and restore blood flow to the heart.Immediately after the end of the operation, the patient was disconnected from ECMO and artificial lung ventilation on the operating table. Now she is on the way to a full recovery and is looking forward to meeting her loved ones.During the operation, the patient's life was supported by a large professional team consisting of the following: head of the X-ray unit Alexey Kolesnikov, interventional cardiologists Almat Kalzhanov and Arystan Kuzhukeev, head of the anesthesiological service Mikhail Vorontsov, head of the intensive care unit Daniyar Kanapyanov and anesthesiologist-resuscitator Artem Nikitenko.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/dsm/press/news/details/901900
