Successful new exploration: more congenital heart disease fetuses are expected to get a healthy life

With the rapid advancement of prenatal diagnostic techniques, congenital heart disease ("Congenital Heart Disease") can be diagnosed during the fetus, giving parents the opportunity to make choices before the birth of the fetus. But on the other hand, can people only see that he (she) has no chance to come to the world for the hope of treating a child with great hopes?

Shanghai Children's Medical Center disclosed that the hospital successfully explored the prenatal and postpartum integrated intervention therapy for pediatric congenital heart disease for the first time. A fetus that was diagnosed with transposition of the great arteries before birth was treated with oxygen infusion and timely postoperative treatment. Successfully passed the world, successfully accepted the surgery to change the fate, and discharged the normal life journey. This has rarely been reported in China before.

According to reports, in the 5 months of the fetus, the child was diagnosed with complete transposition of the great arteries, which is the most complicated congenital heart disease in the clinic. This means that the fetus must receive a transposition of the aorta immediately after birth to survive; at the same time, because the aorta of the child's arterial blood and the pulmonary vein that recovers the venous blood are reversed on the heart, the hypoxia that begins in the fetal period can lead to the birth of the child. Brain damage and developmental disorders, etc.

Shanghai Children's Medical Center said that in this hospital, the success rate of this congenital heart disease surgery can reach more than 90%, but the brain development can only be resigned. "If you can intervene early in the prenatal period to reduce the hypoxia during the fetus, can the child's birth prognosis not be better?" The doctor Zhu Zhongqun has been thinking about this problem. Therefore, he suggested that mothers receive intermittent oxygen and ultrasound tests regularly to better protect the brain function of the congenital heart disease, promote the development of large blood vessels, and prepare for the child's postoperative surgery. It is understood that prenatal intervention can also enhance the child's tolerance to surgery, to a certain extent reduce the risk of surgery and improve the success rate of surgery.

Zhang Ying and his wife (pseudonym) accepted the doctor's advice comprehensively. Under his guidance, they began to insist on oxygen daily to promote the child's heart and brain development, and regularly follow up the fetal heart and brain function. In August, Zhang Ying gave birth to her child Kiki (a pseudonym) who had carefully protected her for five months. This is a beautiful girl, the scores and indicators at birth are very good, there is no performance of sequelae of hypoxia.

The echocardiography of the child after birth confirmed once again that she had complete transposition of the great arteries, but the large blood vessels developed well, the brain developed in the normal range, and the vital signs were stable. After that, Kiki ushered in the surgery to change her destiny. The 3-hour operation was very successful. According to the hospital, Kiki has been discharged smoothly. Like all normal newborns, the crying is very loud, the feeding is very good, and the various reactions of the nervous system and the examination of cardiac function are normal.

The hospital said that children with congenital heart disease is no longer an incurable disease. In this age of prenatal technology, don't panic or give up your child immediately when you know that your baby has congenital heart disease. Prenatal and postnatal integrated interventions and treatments or opportunities for a congenital heart to survive and a complete life.

It is reported that in Shanghai, the largest children's congenital heart disease treatment in Shanghai, the cure rate of children with congenital heart disease is 98%, and the cure rate of complex congenital heart disease is 95%. It is reported that Kiki's successful diagnosis and treatment process is a useful exploration. (Finish)
