Chapter 620: Flattery At An All-Time High
There was nothing much to say about the previous surgery. After Zheng Ren looked at a few of the slides, he was certain that Professor Rudolf Wagner’s mistake was still light.
Doctor Mehar’s three coronary arteries were basically blocked. His heart was severely ischemic and he relied on the capillaries to provide an insignificant blood supply.
Without the support of the extracorporeal membrane lung, Dr. Mehar would have died a long time ago through the exchange of blood and oxygen outside the body to reduce the burden on the heart.
In the coronary arteries, he could vaguely see the shadow of a stent filled with clots and calcified plates. Zheng Ren recalled Rudolf Wagner’s words. When the guide wire was pulled out, there was a clot hanging at the end.
How could he make the patient recover from such a serious coagulation disorder?
Yes. Within Zheng Ren’s eyes, the old man who was lying inside and using the extracorporeal membrane lungs and various machines to make sure he did not die was not an old man with ties to the n.o.bel Prize in Biology and Medicine at the Caroline Medical and Surgical Research Inst.i.tute in Stockholm.
He was just a patient who needed surgery to be treated.
“Boss… Here, the whole wave is blocked… Is there any hope…” the professor said hesitantly.
“Using the coronary rotational grinding technique should be fine. I’m thinking about other things,” Zheng Ren said lightly.
Uh… The professor was stunned.
Coronary artery endomembrane rotational grinding technique, also known as rotational grinding technique.
It was a surgical method that used a rotablator with ultra-high-speed rotation to grind the atherosclerotic plaque and calcified tissue in the coronary artery into extremely fine particles, thereby eliminating the plaque in the blocked vascular cavity.
It was a surgical method developed in the United States in the 1980s. After a few clinical phases, it was officially approved by the FDA in 1993 as a surgical method to solve the calcification and plaque in the intima of the blood vessels.
“Boss, Dr. Mehar has Type C…” the professor whispered. He was stunned when Su Yun stepped on his foot. He looked at Su Yun and asked, “Brother Yun, what’s wrong?”
“Boss is thinking about the next step, which means that there is no problem with the rotary grinding technique. Don’t mention that the open end plate of Type C blood vessels is a contraindication of the rotary grinding technique. Don’t even think about the complications such as interlayer or abrasion leakage.” Su Yun blew a breath, the black hair on his forehead fluttering about.
Professor Rudolf Wagner was stunned.
If you did not even consider contraindications during surgery, then what did you need to think about?
Su Yun’s devilish smile could topple countries and cities.
“Lil Fugui, what you should consider is how to convince the people here to let the boss perform the surgery on Dr. Mehar,” Su Yun said and continued, “and not question the boss’s surgical standard.”
Such flattery! His skills were beyond compare!
The professor was dumbfounded when he heard that. He looked at Su Yun in a daze and fell into a state of confusion.
No wonder Brother Yun was the boss’s a.s.sistant. He could only be considered as a peripheral a.s.sistant. Look at his level!
However… The professor had countless questions in his heart but could not voice them out. If he said it out loud, would it not be him questioning the boss’s skills?
However, at that moment, questioning him was a normal human reaction. Brother Yun was the best and did not even question him at all.
The professor suddenly admired Su Yun. He was the only one who could do such a thing.
Should he completely trust the boss? That was the only question in the professor’s mind.
Although the situation was bad, the professor still had a way to win the boss’s level?
Sure, the n.o.bel Prize would be within reach in a few years even though he was only the second author.
However, failure…
Gah, the boss could not fail.
Professor Rudolf Wagner was taking the hint.
Learn from Brother Yun! He had to learn that he was the man who was going to win the n.o.bel Prize.
After weighing the pros and cons, the professor made up his mind and made a final confirmation.
“Boss, Dr. Mehar’s condition is very complicated. Do you think the surgery is likely to succeed?” Professor Rudolf Wagner bent his back and asked in a low voice. He was very respectful.
“The surgery will definitely succeed. I’m thinking about what to do if the blockage happens again in a short period of time after the surgery. The elasticity of the blood vessels in elderly folk is very poor. Next time, there may not be a chance to do the rotational grinding surgery.” Zheng Ren looked at the image on the computer attentively as he answered indifferently.
The boss was amazing. It really could be done!
The professor made up his mind. Since the boss said it could be done then that was definitely the case.
He recalled the first time he saw the video of the prostate interventional embolization surgery. He recalled the first time he saw the boss perform the TIPS surgery. He recalled…
After countless memories, the professor felt very confident.
“Boss, think about it first. I’ll contact Dr. Mehar about the surgery,” the professor said through gritted teeth. He decided to put everything on the line. “It might not work. I’ll try my best.”
“Go, go.” Zheng Ren waved his hand and chased Professor Rudolf Wagner away like a fly.
The guy was too noisy. He interrupted his train of thought a few times.
Zheng Ren was focused on looking at the surgical imaging data. Countless similar doc.u.ments appeared in his mind. Comparing them one by one, Zheng Ren was looking for a solution to the problem of Dr. Mehar’s coronary artery and blood coagulation mechanism.
After a long time, a bold plan gradually took shape.
The professor had not returned yet. Su Yun was sitting at the side, fiddling with his phone and occasionally taking a look at the image.
Zheng Ren saw that he had time, so he immediately entered the System’s s.p.a.ce and clicked on surgery training.
A simulation mannequin rose from the ground of the System’s operating theatre. An experimental subject appeared in front of him.
It even had an extracorporeal membrane lung. Zheng Ren was very impressed with the System’s intelligent simulation. It had been a long time since he had come for surgery training. The System had not changed.
If only he had seen it for the first time…
Fortunately, things had been alright!
Zheng Ren immediately entered the System’s operating theater and began to perform the rotational grinding technique.
The image of Dr. Mehar’s coronary angiography showed that there were plaques forming at the branches at the starting points of the three coronary arteries. It was one of the surgery’s contraindications.
Furthermore, the coronary arteries were full of blood clots and plaques the entire time. That was another contraindication.
Of course, the so-called contraindications were only contraindications at the current level of technology. Zheng Ren was someone who could already covet the prime of the surgery. These difficulties were not a problem in Zheng Ren’s eyes.
For example, the contraindications that the blood vessels branched into corners were a problem in the past. But now, the contraindications were only increased to 90 degrees.
The level of technology was constantly improving and the so-called contraindications were constantly changing.
However, Zheng Ren’s problem was that he only understood the theory. He had not even performed a single cardiac interventional surgery.
He would train for a period of time. Zheng Ren estimated that he would need about five days of surgical training to complete it.
Since he had built up a big reserve, a few months of surgical training would not put much of a dent into the time he had acc.u.mulated.
Moreover, the operation on the coronary artery was also very important so it would not be wasted.
Zheng Ren calmed his mind and began the operation.
The coronary artery rotational grinding technique used an olive-shaped rotating grinding head with diamond particles. According to the principle of selective cutting, selective grinding was used to remove fibrotic or calcified atherosclerotic plaques.
The procedure was performed with great care so that the elastic tissue and the normal coronary artery were not cut.
Catheterization was performed, a guide wire was inserted, and the training began.
