科学家首先使用导管进行最起码的侵入性心脏绕行手术,帮助高危病人完全康复。 Scientists perform first minimally invasive heart bypass using catheters, helping a high-risk patient recover fully.

NIH和Emory医学院的研究人员使用一种叫做VECtor(VECtoro)的新技术,在没有打开胸膛的情况下,进行了世界上第一个最小侵入性冠心动脉绕行手术。 Researchers at the NIH and Emory School of Medicine have performed the world’s first minimally invasive coronary artery bypass without opening the chest, using a new technique called VECTOR. 该手术程序是为具有复杂解剖和高外科风险的病人设计的,通过插入腿部的导管绕道改变血液流动路线。 The procedure, designed for patients with complex anatomy and high surgical risk, rerouted blood flow by creating a bypass through catheters inserted in the leg. 一位67岁的患者在动脉置换过程中出现罕见并发症, 六个月后恢复良好, 没有堵塞. A 67-year-old patient with a rare complication during aortic valve replacement recovered well, with no blockages six months later. 这项突破可能扩大高危病人的治疗选择,尽管还需要进一步试验。 The breakthrough could expand treatment options for high-risk patients, though further trials are needed.
