The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) period have dictated a different approach to cardiac interventions at our medical institution. We prioritize emergent care geared toward lesser invasive approaches while minimizing hospitalization duration. This reflects upon coronary and structural/valvular cases altogether. Despite potential criticism of this approach, we believe it is the most appropriate therapeutic strategy for this unique period. Further investigation is needed to examine the external validity of our approach in other medical centers worldwide.
在我们医疗机构,新冠疫情时期要求采用不同的方法来进行心脏介入。我们将重点放在紧急护理上,以较小的侵入性方法为导向,同时尽量缩短住院时间。这反映在冠状动脉和结构性/瓣膜病例上。尽管这种方法可能会受到批评,但我们认为这是这个特殊时期最适当的治疗策略。需要进一步调查以检验我们的方法在全球其他医疗中心的外部有效性。
