Cardiovascular Surgery

1. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting is suitable for elderly patients, patients with other systemic diseases, and patients with impaired cardiac function. Our department has long collaborated with cardiac surgery professors at Central Hospital in Washington, DC, USA, and has successfully completed multiple high-risk procedures in elderly patients, with a surgical success rate of over 99%. 2. Beating-heart, minimally invasive small-incision and thoracoscopic valve replacement and valve repair (applicable to rheumatic heart disease and degenerative valvular disease) have the advantages of less trauma, faster postoperative recovery, and a shorter average hospital stay. 3. Surgical and interventional treatment of congenital heart disease includes congenital heart disease in infants and young children and adults (such as atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect), as well as complex congenital heart disease (tetralogy of Fallot, complete atrioventricular canal defect, Ebstein’s anomaly, and transposition of the great arteries). In the surgical treatment of congenital heart disease, our department uses small-incision normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass with continuous cold crystalloid myocardial perfusion, greatly reducing the systemic and pulmonary complications associated with hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. 4. Comprehensive surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation ranges from the traditional classic Maze procedure via median sternotomy to epicardial ablation under thoracoscopy or through a small incision; compared with medical treatment, it provides more definitive efficacy and greater safety. 5. Surgical and interventional treatment of intrathoracic great-vessel diseases (such as thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissecting aneurysm). 6. Comprehensive treatment of peripheral vascular disease (atherosclerotic occlusion or stenosis, venous thrombosis, Leriche syndrome, etc.) using endovascular intervention and surgical anatomical reconstruction with prosthetic grafts. 7. Endovascular catheter intervention is used for occlusion treatment of congenital heart diseases such as atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus, as well as patent foramen ovale, with the advantages of less trauma, lower cost, and a shorter hospital stay. 8. Minimally invasive, small-incision surgery, blood-cell washing equipment, and autologous blood transfusion techniques are used to enable some cardiac surgeries to be performed without or with minimal blood transfusion, reducing transfusion-related complications and costs.
