With the advancement of medical technology and equipment, advanced age is no longer a contraindication to surgery. Last Saturday, 88-year-old citizen Master Liu underwent heart bypass surgery in the hospital and was successfully transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward yesterday. The hospital’s director of cardiac surgery said that Master Liu is the oldest patient in the city to receive heart bypass surgery, and such a high age for heart bypass in the country is also rare. The 88-year-old Master Liu had a myocardial infarction 15 years ago, but at that time medical conditions were limited, no in-depth treatment. A few days ago, the old man again occurred angina symptoms, came to the hospital last week, found that the condition has been very serious, and the location of the lesion can not be placed stents, only surgical procedures. After more than four hours of surgery, Liu’s heart was given three “vascular bridges” and his symptoms were relieved. The director said the surgery went very well, and the old man will be discharged in about 10 days. The director also said that in the past, due to the limitations of the operation and the backward concept, patients over 80 years old rarely received surgery. Now, more and more patients at this age are undergoing surgery, resulting in an improved quality of life.
