Insight, perspective, refinement and "heart"
Recently, Wang Xiaoyan, deputy director of Cardiology Department of Jiangnan University Affiliated Hospital (Third Hospital area), led the team to take the lead in using the internationally advanced soundstar intracardiac ultrasound catheter combined with carto 3D system to successfully complete a case of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation radiofrequency ablation.
To realize the first application of intracardiac ultrasound (ice) in Wuxi area.
Mr. Yang, 74, has suffered from atrial fibrillation for many years. He often feels palpitation, chest tightness and lack of activity. The routine treatment is mainly to recover and maintain sinus rhythm, prevent stroke and control ventricular rate.
After detailed evaluation, Wang Xiaoyan, deputy director of Cardiology Department, used intracardiac ultrasound guidance and carto three-dimensional system to carry out radio-frequency ablation for treatment, quickly removing the potential risk of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. At present, the patient has recovered and discharged.

Compared with the traditional radiofrequency ablation, this operation method has the advantages of more accuracy, safety and less damage. It is nicknamed "three no operations" by doctors
? no use of contrast medium during operation
? no risk of radiation exposure
? no X-ray injury
Intracardiac ultrasound is like a pair of "clairvoyance eyes" for doctors to show the tissue structure of the heart and adjacent organs clearly in front of the surgeons.
Doctors can quickly and accurately locate the target under the guidance of ultrasound catheter, so that the cardiovascular intervention treatment becomes more intuitive and effectively shortens the operation time.
At the same time, it can realize the monitoring of pericardial effusion and enhance the safety of operation.
At the same time, the application of intracardiac three-dimensional ultrasound catheter technology provides strong support for atrial fibrillation and other complex arrhythmias, recognition of complex cardiac anatomy, and interventional treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
With the continuous progress of the construction of the AF center in Jiangda Affiliated Hospital, the technology will gradually become a "conventional weapon" to provide people in Xicheng with more high-quality, efficient and standardized cardiovascular disease prevention and control services.
Internal Medicine-Cardiovascular Department
cardiovascular department
The cardiovascular department of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University (the third hospital area) has a team of rapid response and skilled coronary intervention therapy, which has passed the acceptance and verification of the national chest pain center, and has become the construction unit of Wuxi regional chest pain center to achieve the optimal treatment of acute and fatal chest pain diseases.
He is good at the diagnosis and treatment of various common and difficult cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, heart failure, arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, and various cardiac intervention operations (including angiography, stent implantation, pacemaker, aortic balloon counterpulsation, blocking operation, radiofrequency ablation); he has also carried out acupoint massage, drug application, ear acupoint seed embedding, moxibustion, Chinese medicine conditioning, etc treatment. At present, it has become the construction unit of the National Heart Failure center, Wuxi Branch of the National Cardiovascular Disease Center hypertension Medical Association. All the medical staff in the Department provide high-quality medical services for the people in Xicheng.
