泰国兽医植入了第一个猫起搏器 拯救了8岁的猫 心脏状况非常罕见 Thai vets implant first cat pacemaker, saving 8-year-old cat with rare heart condition.

Chula大学泰国兽医在佩普西进行了该国首次成功的猫起搏器植入手术。 佩普西是一只8岁的猫,由于罕见的心脏节奏紊乱,经常晕倒。 Thai veterinarians at Chula University performed the country’s first successful cat pacemaker implantation on Pepsi, an 8-year-old cat suffering frequent fainting due to a rare heart rhythm disorder. 由于猫的心壁薄且体积小,手术程序需要开口手术才能将铅直接附在心脏上。 The procedure, requiring an open-chest surgery to attach the lead directly to the heart, was necessary because of the cat’s thin heart walls and small size. 使用一个捐赠的绝育心脏起搏器,小组将装置植入腹部。 Using a donated, sterilized pacemaker, the team implanted the device under the abdomen. 此后,百事可乐已完全恢复,恢复了能量和食欲。 Pepsi has since recovered fully, regaining energy and appetite. 也鼓励宠物所有者及早寻求心脏病症状的治疗。 The milestone highlights Thailand’s advancing veterinary care and encourages pet owners to seek early treatment for heart symptoms.
