Description
Summary:A middle-aged woman with rheumatic heart disease, mitral valve prolapse and incompletely closed mitral valve medium, patent foramen ovale, merge multiple uterine fibroids, and moderate blood loss anemia underwent mitral valve replacement surgery with total abdominal hysterectomy under general anesthesia and cardiopulmonary bypass condition. The surgery was successful, and postoperative bleeding, blood clots, heart failure, and other related complications did not occur. Heart valve replacement surgery with the surgical treatment of uterine fibroids effectively improves the safety of surgical treatment for patients as well as reduces the patient's medical expenses and risk of secondary surgery and trauma.
