The Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Nanjing First Hospital, under the leadership of the subject leader Professor Chen Shaoliang, has sharpened its sword for ten years and forged ahead; in April 2020, it was listed as the "Excellent Heart Center" in the world's top cardiovascular journal "European Heart Journal" (European Heart Journal, IF:23)

 

 


The Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Nanjing First Hospital was established in 1958. After decades of hard work by several generations of cardiovascular experts, it has developed into a unity of medicine, teaching and research, with a complete echelon of talents, strong technical force and medical facilities, a characteristic medical center with advanced and superb diagnosis and treatment.

 

 


The Department of Cardiovascular Medicine has 3 cardiovascular wards, 1 intensive care unit (CCU), 4 international advanced cardiac catheterization centers, 1 molecular biology laboratory, cell electrophysiology laboratory, fluid mechanics research laboratory, heart Ultrasound and non-invasive treatment room, cardiovascular pharmacology research room. There are 200 approved beds and 24 intensive care beds.

 

 


The subject leader Professor Chen Shaoliang led the team to promote and develop the cause of cardiovascular intervention. As the first batch of coronary intervention training bases for the Health and Family Planning Commission, he trained a large number of cardiovascular intervention talents and led the Department of Cardiology, Nanjing First Hospital in cardiovascular intervention technology. The field of research and application technology has always been in a leading position in China, and a number of technologies are among the world's leading ranks in this field.

 

 


On August 25, 2018, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) officially released a new version of the revascularization guidelines, which were simultaneously published in the European Heart Journal (EHJ). The DK crush technique invented by Professor Chen Shaoliang was written into the guidelines (Class IIb recommendation): DK crush technique is superior to Provisional T-stenting technique in treating true bifurcation lesions of the left main coronary artery.


In 2004, Professor Chen Shaoliang first proposed the DK CRUSH technology. The results of the DK CRUSH series of studies over 10 years have shown that DK CRUSH interventional treatment of bifurcation lesions is more effective and can significantly reduce major adverse cardiac events. The success of the DK CRUSH series of studies has made cardiovascular interventionists around the world a rush to learn DK CRUSH, and the DK CRUSH procedure has also benefited more coronary heart disease patients.

 

 

Emmanouil Brilakis, Nicholas Burke and Subhash Banerjee from Minneaplois Heart Center spoke highly of DKCRUSH technology and considered it to be the best description of "No pain, No gain".


In 2018, TCT2018 announced the latest clinical trial ULTIMATE research results for the first time



Compared with Provisional Stenting, DK CRUSH is technically more complicated and more challenging, but it is the patients who really benefit, which is what PCI pursues.



Pulmonary artery denervation (PADN), which was first proposed by Professor Chen Shaoliang in 2012, treats pulmonary hypertension by significantly damaging the pulmonary artery sympathetic nerve. The PADN-1 study confirmed for the first time that PADN increases the activity tolerance and improves hemodynamic parameters in patients with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension. The original technology of percutaneous pulmonary artery denervation to treat pulmonary hypertension has applied for a number of international patents.



In 2013, a 97-year-old American flew from San Francisco to Nanjing for PADN surgery.



In 2014, Dr. Chen was invited to demonstrate PADN surgery at Grenoble University Hospital, France.



In 2017, the team broadcasted PADN treatment of pulmonary hypertension to the main venue of TCT.



In 2017, a special report on interventional treatment of pulmonary hypertension at the European Cardiovascular Conference (ESC2017) was released.

 

 



In 2018, the latest results of the clinical randomized controlled study PADN-5 were first announced at TCT2018.
