Patient question
After undergoing a cardiovascular interventional procedure, how can I look up and save the specific information about the implanted device?
Answer reviewed by Zhou Kaiyu, Chief Physician
Professional answer
If an implanted device was used during this procedure, you can ask the hospital where the procedure was performed where the relevant information is recorded, such as in the operative report, discharge documents, or device identification card, and how to request a copy. Keep the name, model, and identification information provided by the hospital, and avoid filling in based solely on verbal recollection. When receiving other medical services in the future, provide the official documents to the healthcare staff for verification. Relevant precautions should be explained by the professional team.
