Performing an echocardiography indeed provides great assistance in diagnosing the aorta.
Considering the child's extremely critical condition, an immediate echocardiography was arranged for the child.
Upon examination, the child was found to have aortic valve stenosis over quite a lengthy section. The blood flow signal in this section was very poor.
"It's very likely aortic coarctation type disease."
Zhou Can said after viewing the results.
"It can basically be confirmed that there is a narrowing of a segment of the aorta, leading to severe weakening of the aortic blood flow." Director Le agreed with Zhou Can's diagnosis.
"The child is only three days old, so if surgery can be avoided, I think it should be. We can first try internal medical treatments to control heart failure, and schedule surgery based on subsequent observations."
After getting support for his diagnosis, Zhou Can provided further treatment recommendations.
