China completes first magnetoelectric dual positioning heart surgery

China first full visual and magnetoelectric double heart surgery, has successfully completed in hainan boao hospital, this is in the city of boao international medical tourism area enjoy under the special policy of the hospital using franchise imported equipment to carry out the first heart electrophysiology surgery, is also the entire three-dimensional visual, magnetoelectric double orientation electrophysiology surgical products for the first time application of the hospital in China, brought Chinese cardiovascular disease with the international synchronization at the forefront of heart surgery treatment.

The patient, surnamed Chen (pseudonym), 50 years old, was admitted to hospital after 5 months of palpitations. He was diagnosed with persistent atrial fibrillation and required radiofrequency ablation. The team of Professor Zhang Shu and Professor Yang Bing, deputy director and chief physician of the Department of Cardiology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital) jointly performed the surgery, and the patients were relieved by radiofrequency ablation.

According to the Report on Cardiovascular Diseases in China released by the National Cardiovascular Disease Center in early 2018, the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases in China are still on the rise. Among them, arrhythmia is one of the main causes of sudden cardiac death, which is a "hidden killer" that endangers the safety and quality of life of Chinese people. For the majority of patients with tachycardia, frequent premature beats, atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation, catheter radiofrequency ablation can be used as a first-line treatment in cases where drug therapy is not effective.

The entire 3d visual and magnetoelectric dual-positioning electrophysiological surgical product for the application of RADIofrequency ablation was developed by Johnson & Johnson Medical. This technology significantly reduces the use of X-ray in catheter radiofrequency ablation, effectively reduces the operation steps and time, and not only optimizes the surgical process, but also significantly improves the stability of the operation.
