This is an operation to eliminate a defect in the heart using a unique occluder device.
In appearance, this is a small device in the shape of a fungus made of nitinol. It has an important feature - the memory of the shape. In a stretched form along a thin tube, the occluder is delivered to the site of damage, and then takes its original shape.
Consulting support is provided by the world-famous X-ray surgeon, professor from Italy Eustagio Onorato. In the process of surgical intervention, the occluder is delivered to the heart through the vessels, the process is monitored by doctors using hybrid imaging, that is, on one screen in the patient, specialists immediately see X-rays, ultrasound and computed tomographic reconstruction.
With the help of this medical device, one of the most severe cardiac pathologies is treated by our specialists without incisions on the chest and cardiac arrest. The operation involves a team of specialists: a surgeon, an anesthesiologist, an assistant, an arrhythmologist, a doctor of functional diagnostics, an operating nurse, an X-ray technician. Only one fact speaks about the uniqueness of this minimally invasive manipulation: today in Russia, on a regular basis, these operations are performed by X-ray surgeons of only three regions of the country, including the Republican Cardiocenter of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Previously paraprosthetic the fistula could only be eliminated by performing repeated open heart surgery. Patients after this type of operation are observed by RCC specialists for life. There are very good long-term treatment results.
