Musi waZvita 8, 2021, Jasmine akava mumwe wevarwere vekutanga muFlorida kugamuchira Harmony™ Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve. Ivhavha inoiswa kuburikidza necatheterization yemwoyo uye inopa imwe nzira yekuvhiya mwoyo wakazaruka kune varwere vane leaky pulmonary valves. St. Joseph's Children's Hospital ndiyo nzvimbo yekutanga muFlorida uye pakati pezvimwe zvipatara zvakasarudzwa munyika kuti zvipe iyi teknolojia yekuchinja.
Congenital heart defects (CHD) ndiyo inowanzozivikanwa yehurema hwekuberekwa, hunokanganisa vacheche vanofungidzirwa 40,000 muUnited States gore negore. Tetralogy yeFallot ndeimwe yeanonyanya kuzivikanwa maCHD uye varwere vese vanozvarwa vaine chirwere ichi vanoda kuvhiyiwa kwemoyo kwekutanga panguva yehucheche uye kazhinji kacho maitiro emoyo ekuwedzera gare gare muhuduku kana panguva yekukura.
Panguva yaiitwa naJasmine, Dr. Ringewald akaisa vharuvhu yeHarmony yakatakurwa pacatheter yayo yekuburitsa mutsinga yegumbo rake uye akatungamira catheter nefluoroscopy kunzvimbo yevharuvhu yepulmonary yake yaibuda. Ivhavha yeHarmony yakashandiswa uye yakambobudiswa, valve yakabva yatanga kushanda.
Iyo Harmony ine hourglass-yakaita nickel-titanium waya furemu ine porcine (nguruve) yemoyo vharafu yakasonerwa mukati mayo. Iyo yakasarudzika, inozviwedzera dhizaini inobvumira mudziyo kushanda kune vakasiyana siyana varwere.
Kuita kwaJasmine kwakabudirira uye pane kuti apedze vhiki imwe ari muchipatara sezvaiwanzoitwa pakuvhiyiwa mwoyo kwakavhurika, akaburitswa mushure mezuva rimwe chete.

ZVOKUBVA MUNYAYA INO:
- Ringewald inserted the Harmony valve loaded on its delivery catheter into a vein in her leg and guided the catheter by fluoroscopy to the location of her leaky pulmonary valve.
- Joseph’s Children’s Hospital is home to the Tampa Bay area’s only comprehensive congenital heart disease program, and its pediatric heart physicians perform hundreds of procedures each year to treat congenital and acquired heart conditions in children of any age, including newborns.
- Tetralogy of Fallot is one of the most common CHDs and all patients born with this diagnosis require initial heart surgery during infancy and usually additional cardiac procedures later in childhood or during adulthood.
