Having reached our target of €160,000, the new Philips 3DECMO is now installed at the Young Adult Congenital Unit at the Mater Hospital. The new machine will make a significant difference to the treatment of CHD patients in the Mater Hospital. The machine has live 3D capabilities which gives a whole new perspective on congenital heart defects. It enables the cardiologist to see the patient’s heart in “real time” therefore enabling the cardiologist to make a diagnosis there and then. It is less invasive for the patient and helps the cardiologist to understand the defects much better and plan their surgical repair. The Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) service at the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital is a national service providing specialist support to patients with complex congenital heart defects requiring lifelong care.
