Myocardial Infarction (MI) is a common condition that affects the heart. MI can be caused by problems with blood supply to certain parts of the heart. MI can be caused by ruptures of the walls that separate different parts of your heart. For example, in severe cases, MI may lead to ruptures of the wall that separates the right and left ventricles. The right ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the lungs. A VSR caused by MI can increase the risk of death if it is not treated properly.The current surgical methods used to close VSR due MI have been shown to be ineffective in many cases. This led to a group Chinese medical researchers being brought in to help. The VSR caused by MI and hemodynamic instability (HI) was the focus of these researchers at Capital Medical University in China and The First Affiliated hospital of Zhengzhou University. According to a Chinese Medical Journal study, the researchers developed a surgical technique that improves outcomes for patients with VSR and MI due to MI (VSR–HI-MI). Dr. Chao Liu, the first author of the study, explained that their research was motivated by the need to create a surgical technique that could be safely and feasibly used in hemodynamically unstable patients suffering from VSR in the acute phase.SurCOP is a new surgical technique that combines two devices, an occluder, and a patch. The medical researchers created it to save lives for patients suffering from VSR-HIMI. The occluder is used for the repair of the "hole" in your heart. The patch, which is made from biocompatible materials, is used to close the hole. This is an improved version of the traditional surgical procedure that uses a single patch. The improved technique was then used on nine patients with VSRHI-MI consenting to it. 54 other patients were also compared. The procedure was a success with a 100% rate of success. SurCOP also had a remarkable 77.8% survival rate, which is a significant improvement on the 10% survival rate for patients who were treated conservatively. The median follow-up was 187 days. SurCOP was performed on all patients.These are very promising results. The study highlights the effectiveness of SurCOP's surgical technique in addressing the clinical issues posed by VSR–HI-MI. Dr. Liu, who was pleased with the results of the study, said that SurCOP is an effective, safe and easy-to-manipulate method. We would like to hear from surgeons interested in trying this alternative therapy and working together to improve the prognosis for patients with VSR.The world can now heal from heart attacks complications better.###Refer to
