A few days ago, at the "7th Lingnan Minimally Invasive Interventional Medicine Summit Forum", the "Comprehensive Diagnosis and Treatment of Children's Hemangioma and Vascular Malformation" was released.
The book was edited by Professor Zhang Jing, Director of the Department of Minimally Invasive Interventional Surgery, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, and Professor Yang Renjie of Peking University Cancer Hospital. According to Professor Zhang Jing, the publication of the book lasted for 5 years, systematically sorting out the research progress of children's hemangiomas and vascular malformations in the last 5-10 yearsComprehensively summarize a set of effective methods in work practice;Summarize and form theories of clinical work in the past 10-20 years.
According to reports, pediatric hemangioma is a common benign tumor that occurs in infants and young children, with an incidence of 5%-10%. The face and neck are the most common areas of disease, with 50%-60% of cases occurring on the maxillofacial area of infants and young children, and many other parts of the body, such as the tongue and brain.
As long as it is done properly, the rate of hemangiomas in children is as high as 99%!Professor Zhang Jing said that the child unfortunately has a hemangioma, as a parent there is no need to panic, this is a benign tumor.
In terms of vascularization, intervention has a unique advantage, because the blood vessels in the hemangioma are intertwined like tree roots, which are difficult to remove cleanly, while the interventional doctor can follow the blood vessels to each part of the blood vessel through the method of vascular intervention, which is more thorough. Professor Zhang Jing said that despite this, hemangiomas and vascular malformations must be comprehensive, MDT (multidisciplinary consultation) hemangiomas and vascular malformations in China and even in the world, there are doctors from multiple departments treating the same disease together, which can easily lead to confusion in some diagnoses and differential diagnoses. The publication of "Comprehensive Diagnosis and Treatment of Hemangioma and Vascular Malformations in Children" can better guide clinicians in differential diagnosis and formulate the best plan. ”
According to statistics, there are more than 400 million patients with chronic liver diseases in China, making it the country with the heaviest burden of liver diseases in the world. If chronic liver disease is not well controlled, it is likely to progress to liver cirrhosis, and portal hypertension is the key factor affecting the clinical prognosis of 7 million patients with liver cirrhosis in China.
The vast majority of patients with portal hypertension are caused by cirrhosis, which leads to increased blood resistance in the liver, obstruction of blood flow in the portal vein, and an increase in portal pressure, constituting portal hypertension. Professor Zhang Jing said that with the increase of pressure, it is easy to lead to rupture and bleeding, which will lead to massive bleeding in the digestive tract, which can seriously endanger the patient's life. In terms of **, there is a well-known shunt surgery - TIPS, which is a minimally invasive interventional surgery that has developed rapidly in recent years and has matured, which can effectively reduce portal vein pressure. "The successful development of TIPS surgery not only provides a positive method for patients with portal hypertension with cirrhosis, but also opens up a 'life channel' for patients with gastrointestinal bleeding and refractory ascites caused by portal hypertension decompensation. ”
