PUMCH has always attached great importance to discipline construction and personnel training to broaden the development space for the introduced talents. Recently, with the support of Director Miao Qi of the Department of Cardiac Surgery, and the careful deployment of the talented director Jing Zhicheng of the Department of Cardiology, PUMCH carried out the first interventional umbrella treatment for congenital heart disease, successfully repairing 3 patients with atrial septal defect. The success of these three operations is the result of the close cooperation between the Cardiology and the Cardiology Surgery team, marking the hosptial’s formal entry into the field of minimally invasive surgery for congenital heart disease.

▲The team of Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, and Echocardiography cooperated closely during the operation.

Director Jing Zhicheng and Director Miao Qi are confident in the technology. “Patients with congenital heart disease from the age of 6 months to adults can go to PUMCH for medical treatment. The Department of Cardiology and Department of Cardiac Surgery will jointly develop personalized medical plans for patients, so that patients can receive more quality and warmer medical services. "
