technology for the mitral valve
Dubai Health Authority announced the adoption of Dubai technology for mitral valve restoration in 6 global heart centers, after winning the best technology for the year 2018 at the International Conference of Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery, which was held in Vancouver, Canada, last June after competition from the United States of America and Switzerland, Which is a historic achievement. Dr. Fawzi Al-Safadi, consultant of cardiothoracic surgery at Dubai Hospital said that the technology is now applied in 6 major global centers of the heart and has been adopted by the most famous cardiac surgeons and they are all department heads and university professors, and the technology will enter other global centers before the end of this year, including Manchester, Moscow, Amsterdam and Maastrich Jeddah, Cairo and Beirut, after a large and increasing number of international surgeons showed their keen interest in Dubai technology and their intention to adopt it.
Dr. Shiv Kumar, President of the Indian Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery, extended an official invitation to the Heart Surgery Team at Dubai Hospital to participate in the annual conference of the association which will be held in February in the city of Chennai, and will also participate in the annual conference of the International Society of Endoscopic Cardiology, which will take place in May 2019 In New York City to show the developments and results of Dubai technology worldwide.
leadership
Dr. Al-Safadi told Al-Bayan that Dubai surgical technology for endoscopic mitral valve repair has been certified by Dr. Anthony de Souza, head of the department of cardiac surgery at the Royal Promtom Hospital - London, and Dr. Mahesh Ramchandani, director of the endoscopic cardiac surgery program at the Houston Modesti, Dubgie Heart Center - Texas, Dr. Nilan Dulp, Director of the Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery Program at the Utah Southwestern Medical Center Hospital - Dallas - Texas, Dr. Aladdin Yilmis the Director of the Endoscopic Cardiac Surgery Program at Jessa - Hasselt Hospital - Belgium, and Dr. Mattia Glauber, Head of the Department of Endoscopic Cardiology in Miss. Healed St. Ambroujo - Milan - Italy, and Dr. Mikalai de Ponce, head of cardiac surgery at St. Raphael''s Hospital - Milan - Italy.
He explained that since 2017 until now, more than 150 surgeries have been performed with a 95% success rate, 13 of which were within Dubai Hospital, all of which were successful, noting that many of them were complicated cases that were rejected by some private hospitals in the country because the risk ratio is high.
He emphasized that this achievement and success would not have been achieved without the unlimited support by His Excellency Hamid Al Qatami, Director General of Dubai Health Authority, who always emphasizes and encourages innovation, pointing out that this innovation constituted an important and influential turn in the field of mitral valve restoration, and effectively helped in adopting Endoscopic surgery instead of opening the chest, noting the great confidence this type of treatment gives to new surgeons through the ease of applying them to patients and encouraging them to undertake this type of operation.
Valve surgery
Dr. Al-Safadi continued: The heart valve surgery at its beginnings was based on the principle of replacing the patient valve with a metal or tissue artificial valve, as a single solution available at the time, and due to the serious problems and complications that may result from this, the idea of trying to repair the valve instead of replacing it appeared, in later stages. The valve repair process remained one of the most important milestones in heart surgery, due to its accuracy and sensitivity, and it needs high skills and long experience and accumulated in this regard, and since the valve repair process, especially the mitral valve, is of very high benefit to the patient, far exceeds the process Stubbornness D.
This field has attracted the attention of some of the distinguished distinguished cardiac surgeons in the world, such as Professor Carpentia, Alfieri, Adams, Moore and Khoury, who have focused for decades on the innovation and development of the foundations of this surgery, but the current technologies still represent a great challenge for the emerging generations of cardiac surgeons, due to the difficulty Acquiring and learning them, which causes many of them to carry out replacements to avoid possible restoration failures.
Show that the mitral valve (also known as the mitral valve) is a valve that separates the left atrium and the left ventricle and allows in its normal position for blood to pass in one direction from the atrium to the ventricle, and the mitral valve stenosis is a narrowing of the valve mouth, which limits blood flow through the valve, which It leads to an increase in pressure behind the valve, causing various problems and symptoms that increase in severity as the stenosis increases.
