心血管治疗 & 程序

Saint Francis Medical Center’s 心医院 in 开普吉拉多市 offers several procedures and treatments for cardiovascular disease. Our experienced cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons, 心脏病专家, nurses and technologists work 24 hours a day to perform bypasses, 植入支架和起搏器, 更换阀门. 我们使用最新的技术, 比如达芬奇机器人手术系统, which gives surgeons unparalleled surgical accuracy by combining 3-D visualization, 高清摄像机和四个机械臂.

Transradial导管插入术

Saint Francis Medical Center’s 心医院 was among the first facilities in southeast Missouri to offer transradial catheterization, which allows doctors to determine if and where blockages exist by accessing arteries through the patient’s wrist. This cardiovascular disease treatment allows doctors to perform angioplasty to open a blocked artery with the following benefits:

  • 减少出血并发症
  • 更少的痛苦
  • The ability to sit up and walk following the procedure
  • 显著缩短住院时间

支架

Aneurysms occur when the walls of the artery weaken and expand like a balloon. 支架加固动脉,恢复血液流动. Our cardiovascular surgeons use three different treatments to repair arteries:

  • 腹主动脉瘤支架植入术
  • 腹主动脉瘤支架植入术
  • 血管内支架移植

心脏搭桥手术

When arteries are blocked, Saint Francis uses three types of bypass to reroute the blood supply. These treatments depend up the type of cardiovascular disease and the location of the blockage.  我们的心脏外科医生使用以下方法:

  • 冠状动脉搭桥手术
  • 微创冠状动脉搭桥术
  • Off-pump coronary artery bypass or beating-heart bypass

达芬奇手术系统

达·芬奇® S HD™ Surgical System is the newest innovation in minimally invasive surgery. The system gives surgeons unparalleled surgical accuracy by combining 3-D visualization, 高清摄像机和四个机械臂. 结果是, complicated surgeries that were once done with traditional techniques – and the large incisions associated with them – can in most cases now be done with incisions about the size of a dime.

经导管主动脉瓣置换术

经导管主动脉瓣置换术, 或TAVR, is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure which repairs the valve without removing the old, 损坏的阀. Instead, a replacement valve is wedged into the aortic valve’s place. 有点类似于放置在动脉中的支架, the TAVR approach delivers a fully collapsible replacement valve to the valve site through a catheter. 一旦新瓣膜扩张, it pushes the old valve leaflets out of the way and the tissue in the replacement valve takes over the job of regulating blood flow.

MitraClip设备

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the leakage of blood backward through the mitral valve each time the heart contracts. 当这种情况发生时, patients can experience significant shortness of breath and their activity tolerance may be greatly reduced. 圣弗朗西斯医疗保健系统 offers the MitraClip procedure for those experiencing mitral regurgitation. 病人 are evaluated for the MitraClip procedure with cardiac ultrasound imaging completed at 圣弗朗西斯医疗保健系统’s Heart Center. 美国.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the MitraClip设备 for percutaneous (through the skin) repair of primary (degenerative) MR in 2013 and it is successfully treating patients who are considered too high risk for standard surgical mitral valve repair that requires open chest surgery. Primary mitral regurgitation is related to age, a birth defect, or an underlying heart disease.

守望

The 守望 Implant is about the size of a quarter and made from very light and compact materials commonly used in many medical implants.

守望 is a one-time implant that helps reduce AFib stroke risk by permanently closing off the left atrial appendage (LAA) to keep blood clots from escaping. 守望 can eliminate the bleeding risks and regular blood tests and food-and-drink restrictions that come with warfarin. 在临床试验中, 9 out of 10 people were able to stop taking warfarin just 45 days after the 守望 procedure.

瓣膜置换

当心脏瓣膜不能正常工作时, Saint Francis uses a minimally invasive valve replacement procedure where cardiovascular surgeons use one or small incisions in the chest to repair the valves.

心脏起搏器植入

A pacemaker sends electrical impulses to the heart to help it pump properly. The battery and electrical circuits are implanted in the body, 通常在肩下或腹部. Wires are placed on the heart muscle to deliver the small amount of electrical current needed to treat the abnormal rhythm.

其他心血管疾病治疗

Saint Francis also offers the following cardiovascular treatments to patients in southeast Missouri and Southern Illinois:

  • 自动植入式心律转复除颤器
  • 心港
  • 经皮腔内冠状动脉成形术
