History Made As Nigerian Teaching Hospital Conducts Successful Heart Surgery by Shortzmovie: 7:30am On Feb 26, 2017 |
The Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital
(AKTH) in Kano, Kano State, has
successfully conducted a cardiac
pacemaker implantation on 87 year-
old Shehu Bashir-Nababa.
The hospital’s Deputy Director of
Information, Malam Aminu Inuwa,
disclosed this to newsmen on Friday
in Kano.
Inuwa in a statement said that the
operation conducted by a team of
medical doctors from the
Cardiology, Radiology and
Anesthesiology Departments and
specialised nurses, lasted one and a-
half hours.
Inuwa quoted the leader of the
team, Dr Isma’il Muhammad-Inuwa,
a consultant cardiothoracic surgeon,
as saying the patient was received at
the Accident and Emergency Unit of
the hospital with third degree heart
block.
“The third degree heart block
represents low heart rate less than
40 beats per minute, sync opal
attacks and high blood pressure,’’
he said.
Inuwa in the statement explained
that the pacemaker lead electrode
wire was inserted into the right
ventricle through the vein in the left
upper chest and the electrode was
connected to the pulse generator
placed under the skin. source: http://www.ireport-ng.com/2017/02/history-made-as-nigerian-teaching.html?m=0 |
