Peng, 82, has always had the habit of exercising. One day when he was walking, he suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, which lasted for almost an hour. He immediately went to the cardiology clinic for treatment. After examination, he found that not only cardiovascular obstruction, but also calcification was very serious. However, due to the limited therapeutic effect of cardiac catheter stent, after consulting with cardiac surgery, he suggested that Da Vinci's mechanical arm assisted coronary artery bypass surgery saved his life.
Traditional open heart surgery takes a long time to recover and has severe pain.
Zhang Ruizhi, director of surgery at Hualien Ci Hospital, said that traditional open heart surgery requires thoracotomy. Due to the wounds of bones and muscles, the patients have severe postoperative pain and long recovery time. The average recovery period takes 10 to 14 days, and the chronic recovery period takes at least 3 to 6 months until the bones are completely healed. And there are also precautions that are not suitable for lifting heavy objects during the recovery period.
Minimally invasive surgery is fun without thoracotomy, and it has less trauma and short recovery time.
Professor Lai Xu Hong added that minimally invasive surgery can be performed without thoracotomy, especially the minimally invasive surgery assisted by Da Vinci's robotic arm, with only a few wounds less than two centimeters, less bleeding and short recovery time, which can greatly reduce the surgical risks that the elderly and patients whose physical condition is unbearable for open surgery due to other diseases may face.
Heart disease has nothing to do with obesity. These factors are also risk factors.
Director Zhang Ruizhi reminded that most diseases are symptomatic. If you have unexplained chest tightness and severe chest pain, you should seek medical advice as soon as possible. Moreover, many people have a misunderstanding about cardiovascular diseases, thinking that only people with fat bodies will have it. However, diseases can't just look at weight and appearance. Sometimes, due to physical factors or bad eating habits, the increase of visceral fat will also increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
