One year at Island Hospital. Thanks to my nurse, the support staff, heart centre staff, my bros and colleagues at work, the hospital management and above all, the patients from across the region for putting their trust in my care.

Satu tahun di Island Hospital. Terima kasih kepada perawat saya, staf pendukung, staf pusat jantung, saudara-saudara dan kolega saya di tempat kerja, manajemen rumah sakit dan terutama, pasien dari seluruh wilayah karena telah mempercayai perawatan saya.

在 Island Hospital 工作了一年。感谢我的护士、支持人员、心脏中心工作人员、工作中的兄弟和同事、医院管理层,最重要的是,感谢来自整个地区的患者对我的护理的信任。

I’m overjoyed that my longest staying patient has been sent home well. Mr Susanto came to see me with symptoms of prolonged fever, initially treated for all sorts of ailments from Tuberculosis to Typhoid. Here we established the diagnosis of Infective Endocarditis of the Mitral Valve, which is the underlying cause for his unrelenting fever and lethargy.

Antibiotics was started, but despite initial improvement embolic phenomena occurred to the abdominal organs. I’m deeply thankful to my Cardiothorscic Surgeon Mr Basheer for performing expedited valve replacement surgery for him, and he went on to complete his antibiotics via a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). With this he could still explore Penang and enjoy the food while being given his antibiotics twice a day.

Mr Susanto you’ve truly brought out the word “patience” in patient, as despite the long stay, multiple procedures and open heart surgery, you never once complained, instead you kept your chin up. I wish you all the best in health and wellness going forward.

🇮🇩

Saya sangat gembira karena pasien saya yang paling lama dirawat sudah dipulangkan dengan sehat. Tn. Susanto datang menemui saya dengan gejala demam berkepanjangan, awalnya dirawat untuk berbagai macam penyakit mulai dari TBC hingga Tifoid. Di sini kami menetapkan diagnosis Endokarditis Infektif pada Katup Mitral, yang merupakan penyebab mendasar demam dan kelesuannya yang tak kunjung reda.

Antibiotik mulai diberikan, tetapi meskipun awalnya membaik, fenomena emboli terjadi pada organ perut. Saya sangat berterima kasih kepada Dokter Bedah Jantung dan Toraks saya, Tn. Basheer, karena telah melakukan operasi penggantian katup yang dipercepat untuknya, dan ia terus menyelesaikan antibiotiknya melalui kateter sentral yang dimasukkan secara perifer (PICC). Dengan ini, ia masih dapat menjelajahi Penang dan menikmati makanan sambil diberi antibiotik dua kali sehari.

Tn. Susanto, Anda benar-benar telah menanamkan kata "sabar" pada pasien, karena meskipun dirawat lama, menjalani berbagai prosedur, dan operasi jantung terbuka, Anda tidak pernah mengeluh, sebaliknya Anda tetap tegar. Saya berharap Anda semua selalu sehat dan bugar di masa mendatang.

🇨🇳

很高兴我住院时间最长的病人已经平安回家了。Susanto 先生来找我看病,他出现长时间发烧的症状,最初治疗过各种疾病,从肺结核到伤寒。在这里我们确诊为二尖瓣感染性心内膜炎,这是他持续发烧和嗜睡的根本原因。

开始使用抗生素,但尽管最初有所改善,但腹部器官还是出现了栓塞现象。我非常感谢我的心胸外科医生 Basheer 先生为他进行了快速瓣膜置换手术,他继续通过外周插入中心导管 (PICC) 完成抗生素治疗。这样,他仍然可以探索槟城并享受美食,同时每天服用两次抗生素。

Susanto 先生,您真正体现了病人的“耐心”一词,因为尽管住院时间长,多次接受手术和心脏直视手术,您从未抱怨过,而是保持着自信。我祝愿您今后一切安好,身体健康。

While this technology has been around for a while now, I’m happy to perform the first Orbital Artherectomy (OAS) on Penang Island. I personally find this form of “drill” to be more user friendly and patient friendly too. Sorta like going from a ICE car to EV.

We did OAS for an elderly man with daily angina symptoms; caused by a severe stenosis in his dominant right heart artery. The stenosis was caused by a calcified nodule.
With favourable wire bias, 10 runs of ablation was done with good results, guided by IVUS intravascular ultrasound. Final stent expansion was also very good, with the vessel cross sectional area increasing from 1.9mm2 to 12.9mm2

Very honored to have my senior colleague come and familiarise with this technology, as we say here sharing is caring. Thanks to Grace Ng, Wei Cher and Abbott | Cardiovascular for the support.

🇮🇩

Meskipun teknologi ini sudah ada sejak lama, saya senang dapat melakukan Orbital Artherectomy (OAS) pertama di Pulau Penang. Secara pribadi, saya merasa bentuk "bor" ini lebih mudah digunakan dan juga ramah bagi pasien. Mirip seperti berpindah dari mobil ICE ke EV.

Kami melakukan OAS untuk seorang pria tua dengan gejala angina harian; disebabkan oleh stenosis parah di arteri jantung kanan dominannya. Stenosis tersebut disebabkan oleh nodul kalsifikasi.

Dengan bias kawat yang baik, 10 kali ablasi dilakukan dengan hasil yang baik, dipandu oleh USG intravaskular IVUS. Ekspansi stent akhir juga sangat baik, dengan luas penampang pembuluh darah meningkat dari 1,9 mm2 menjadi 12,9 mm2

Sangat terhormat karena rekan senior saya datang dan membiasakan diri dengan teknologi ini, seperti yang kami katakan di sini, berbagi berarti peduli. Terima kasih kepada Grace Ng, Wei Cher, dan Abbott | Cardiovascular atas dukungannya.

🇨🇳

虽然这项技术已经存在了一段时间,但我很高兴在槟城岛实施了第一例眶动脉切除术 (OAS)。我个人认为这种形式的“钻头”对用户和患者来说都更加友好。有点像从内燃机汽车换成电动汽车。

我们为一位患有每日心绞痛症状的老年男子实施了 OAS;这是由他的主要右心动脉严重狭窄引起的。狭窄是由钙化结节引起的。
在 IVUS 血管内超声的引导下,在导线偏压良好的情况下,进行了 10 次消融,效果良好。最终支架扩张也非常好,血管横截面积从 1.9 平方毫米增加到 12.9 平方毫米

非常荣幸我的资深同事能来熟悉这项技术,正如我们在这里所说的,分享就是关爱。感谢 Grace Ng、Wei Cher 和 Abbott | Cardiovascular 的支持。

A young man came in early this morning 2am for acute inferior Myocardial Infarction. His initial symptoms was should pain only. He even had a MRI of his left shoulder done at a nearby facility, and went home with painkillers. But at night when the pain for intense he came to Island Hospital emergency. ECG showed STEMI (100%) blockage and emergency angioplasty was performed successfully. A tricky case given the multiple bends and tortuosities.

He is doing well now and on the path to recovery.

Young men out there. Pay attention to your health and any atypical symptoms. There’s been too many stories of 30somethings suffering for major heart attacks. Get your heart health checked.

🇮🇩
Seorang pria muda datang pagi ini jam 2 pagi karena Infark Miokard Akut Inferior. Gejala awalnya hanya nyeri saja. Dia bahkan menjalani MRI bahu kirinya di fasilitas terdekat, dan pulang ke rumah dengan obat penghilang rasa sakit. Namun pada malam hari ketika rasa sakitnya sangat hebat dia datang ke Rumah Sakit Island darurat. EKG menunjukkan penyumbatan STEMI (100%) dan angioplasti darurat berhasil dilakukan. Kasus yang rumit mengingat banyaknya tikungan dan lika-liku.

Dia baik-baik saja sekarang dan dalam jalur menuju pemulihan.

Para remaja putra di luar sana. Perhatikan kesehatan Anda dan gejala atipikal lainnya. Ada terlalu banyak cerita tentang usia 30-an yang menderita serangan jantung parah. Periksakan kesehatan jantung Anda.

一名年轻男子今天凌晨 2 点因急性下壁心肌梗塞入院。他最初的症状是仅肩部疼痛。他甚至在附近的一家医疗机构做了左肩核磁共振检查,然后服用止痛药回家。但晚上疼痛加剧时,他来到 Island Hospital 急诊室。心电图显示 STEMI(100%)阻塞,紧急血管成形术成功实施。由于多处弯曲和曲折,这是一个棘手的病例。

他现在恢复得很好,正在康复的路上。

年轻人。注意你的健康和任何不典型的症状。有太多 30 多岁的人因严重心脏病发作而痛苦的故事。检查一下你的心脏健康。

Glad to participate as a speaker in todays Spotlight on heart failure webinar with fellow consultants from Gleneagles hospital. We discussed an often neglected but very important set of heart failure patients, those with preserved ejection fraction and hypertension, and how early identification and lifestyle advice, reduced salt intake and new medications can help improve not only Blood Pressure control but also avoid long term heart problems.

Bifurcation stenting is a form of complex angioplasty where special step-by-step techniques 🏥 are used to implant conventional stents in a manner that allows for a natural conformation to a branching artery which has blockages👊. This is used when Normal stenting techniques might risk ⚡️ closing off one of the branches during angioplasty, which can result in a heart attack 💔. Although more complex ♣️ and time consuming🕗, the results are good and can rival open heart surgeries depending on the anatomy and patient profile.

Did a case today where a complex Left Main LAD LCX all had severe disease at the junction (bifurcation) completed using the Culotte technique, guided by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). I’m very happy with the final results which look like a reconstruction of the original vessel architecture.

🇮🇩

Pemasangan stent bifurkasi adalah bentuk angioplasti kompleks yang menggunakan teknik langkah demi langkah khusus 🏥 untuk menanamkan stent konvensional dengan cara yang memungkinkan terjadinya konformasi alami pada percabangan arteri yang mengalami penyumbatan👊. Ini digunakan ketika teknik pemasangan stent normal mungkin berisiko ⚡️ menutup salah satu cabang selama angioplasti, yang dapat mengakibatkan serangan jantung 💔. Meskipun lebih kompleks ♣️ dan memakan waktu🕗, hasilnya bagus dan dapat menyaingi operasi jantung terbuka tergantung pada anatomi dan profil pasien.

Apakah ada kasus hari ini di mana LCX LAD Utama Kiri yang kompleks semuanya memiliki penyakit parah di persimpangan (bifurkasi) yang diselesaikan menggunakan teknik Culotte, dipandu oleh ultrasonografi intravaskular (IVUS). Saya sangat senang dengan hasil akhir yang terlihat seperti rekonstruksi arsitektur kapal aslinya.

🇨🇳

分叉支架置入术是一种复杂的血管成形术,其中使用特殊的分步技术🏥以允许自然贴合阻塞的分支动脉👊的方式植入传统支架。当常规支架置入技术可能在血管成形术期间关闭其中一个分支时,使用这种方法,这可能会导致心脏病发作💔。虽然更复杂♣️和耗时🕗,但结果很好,可以与开胸手术相媲美,具体取决于解剖学和患者情况。

今天做了一个病例,其中复杂的左主干 LAD LCX 在连接处(分叉)都有严重疾病,使用 Culotte 技术在血管内超声 (IVUS) 的引导下完成。我对最终结果非常满意,它看起来像是原始血管结构的重建。

Pulmonary embolism is one of the most feared 😞 complications that can occur to any post operative patient. This can happen due to immobilisation, and the formation of a blood clot 🎈in the veins which then breaks off and travels (embolises) to the lung arteries. When stuck there is can cause shock ⚡️ , lung damage 💣 , hypoxia 🌬️ and death.

I performed the first catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT) in Island Hospital 🏥 Penang 🌴 for such a patient this week, successfully placing two 4fr catheters with side holes created to infuse powerful thrombolytics (clot busters 💉) directly into the affected lung arteries and into the clots to dissolve them, with minimal impact on the rest of the body.

The result: patient improved rapidly📈 and was taken off life support within 24 hours and out of ICU the next day within no clinical bleeding. 🩸

While I don’t hope for more such cases, it’s reassuring to know that should complications occur, we are equipped to handle it. 💪

🇮🇩

Emboli paru adalah salah satu 😞 komplikasi yang paling ditakuti yang dapat terjadi pada pasien pasca operasi mana pun. Hal ini dapat terjadi karena imobilisasi, dan pembentukan bekuan darah 🎈di pembuluh darah yang kemudian pecah dan mengalir (emboli) ke arteri paru-paru. Bila tersangkut disana dapat menyebabkan syok ⚡️ , kerusakan paru 💣 , hipoksia 🌬️ dan kematian.

Saya melakukan trombolisis terarah kateter (CDT) pertama di Island Hospital 🏥 Penang 🌴 untuk pasien tersebut minggu ini, dan berhasil memasang dua kateter 4fr dengan lubang samping yang dibuat untuk memasukkan trombolitik yang kuat (penghancur bekuan 💉) langsung ke arteri paru-paru yang terkena dan ke dalam gumpalan darah untuk melarutkannya, dengan dampak minimal pada seluruh tubuh.

Hasilnya: pasien membaik dengan cepat📈 dan alat bantu hidup dicabut dalam waktu 24 jam dan keluar dari ICU keesokan harinya tanpa pendarahan klinis. 🩸

Meskipun saya tidak berharap akan ada lagi kasus serupa, saya merasa lega karena mengetahui bahwa jika terjadi komplikasi, kami siap menanganinya. 💪

🇨🇳

肺栓塞是任何术后患者最害怕的并发症之一。这可能是由于固定不住以及静脉中血栓🎈的形成,然后血栓脱落并流向(栓塞)肺动脉。当血栓卡住时,可能会导致休克⚡️、肺损伤💣、缺氧🌬️和死亡。

本周,我在槟城岛医院🏥为一名这样的患者进行了第一次导管定向血栓溶解术 (CDT),成功地将两根带有侧孔的 4fr 导管直接注入受影响的肺动脉和血栓中以溶解血栓,对身体其他部位的影响最小。

结果:患者病情迅速好转📈,24 小时内脱离生命支持系统,第二天离开 ICU,没有出现临床出血。🩸

虽然我不希望再出现这样的病例,但知道如果出现并发症,我们有能力处理,这让人感到安心。💪
