I can see health

Chapter 890
Finally, one month after Yunhua opened.

The Department of Cardiology welcomed its first surgical patient.

This patient is from Guanghai Central Hospital and was once Lu Chen's patient.

At the beginning, the patient sought medical treatment in major hospitals in Guanghai because of severe aortic insufficiency.

After wandering around many places, he finally found Lu Chen.

Lu Chen completed a difficult TAVR operation in China on him.

After the operation, most of the patient's heart function recovered.

You can even walk normally and take care of your daily life.

However, the valve life of TAVR surgery is only about five years.

Now just in the fifth year of the operation, the patient underwent echocardiography and found that there was another problem with the aortic valve.

The replacement of the aging TAVR valve, that is, the second TAVR operation.

This is a top-level surgery in China.

With Guanghai's medical level, it has not yet reached this level.

The patient's family members came to Yunhua Private Hospital where Lu Chen was located under the guidance of Professor Shi Langqin.

This patient came here entirely for Lu Chen.

Because the entire Yunhua Hospital is quite empty, after this patient came to Yunhua, all the way to the green light.

Surgery was scheduled soon.

Lu Chen is the chief surgeon, and Jin Miao is the first assistant.

The replacement of the aging valve is not difficult for Lu Chen now.

He currently has a TAVR Intervention Expert skill card.

Lu Chen has mastered all the existing TAVR techniques very proficiently.

This operation was taught and demonstrated in Yunhua Cardiology Department.

All can come to visit and learn.

In Lu Chen's idea, with this model of teaching surgery, everyone's surgical ability can be improved more quickly.

……

The whole operation went very smoothly.

After the aging TAVR valve was replaced by Lu Chen, the patient's heart function recovered again after the operation.

This operation is of great significance to Yunhua.

The difficulty of the operation is considered top-notch in China as a whole.

Zou Liqian naturally would not let go of this good opportunity, and began to publicize and create momentum in major medical media.

This is the benefit of a big-name doctor, who can open up the situation for the hospital in a very short time!
With the exposure of Lu Chen's surgery, more and more people in the industry and patients began to notice this brand new private hospital.

However, Lu Chen knew that this was just the beginning, and what he had done was far from enough!

Yunhua is like a newborn baby, toddling and walking, it is simply not comparable to those traditional top tertiary hospitals in Shanghai.

However, the turning point is coming soon!

……

Department of Cardiology, Shanghai First Hospital.

This is the department where Lu Chen once worked.

At this time, Zhang Shuqing, Lu Chen's doctoral supervisor, was sitting in the office with a solemn expression.

"Director Liu, this patient's condition is too serious, and he is really not suitable for surgery in our department."

The patient in front of me is a patient with severe aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation.

"Is it serious? Or are you afraid to do it because you haven't done it before?" Liu Jun, chief director of the Department of Cardiology, frowned.

This patient is a relative of a leader in Shanghai.

If their hospital can't handle it, the possibility of going to another hospital for surgery is very slim.

"Director, there are both factors!" Zhang Shuqing said in a deep voice, "For a combined valve disease like this, the conventional operation should be a surgical thoracotomy."

For complicated valvular diseases, the valve can only be completely repaired by open-chest surgery.

"His heart function is in a mess. Can't the chest be opened in this situation?" Liu Jun asked rhetorically.

"Well, if the thoracotomy is performed, the patient cannot tolerate it, and it is very likely that he will not be able to get off the operating table." Zhang Shuqing analyzed, "The only way now is minimally invasive intervention, TAVR surgery combined with TMVR."

TAVR is transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

TMVR is transcatheter mitral valve replacement.

"You can't do this surgery?" Liu Jun asked doubtfully.

"First of all, we have never done this kind of joint operation, and we have zero experience in this area; secondly, the risk of this operation is too high, and there are too many uncontrollable factors. I have estimated it myself. If I are allowed to do it, the success rate of the operation Less than fifty percent."

After listening to Zhang Shuqing's words, Director Liu Jun fell silent.

His subordinates have said so, and it is impossible for him to force it.

After a while, Liu Jun looked at Zhang Shuqing and said slowly, "Is there any hospital in China that has done similar cases?"

Zhang Shuqing shook his head slightly, "This field is currently blank in the country, and no hospital has completed it."

Liu Jun frowned.

"So, there is really no other way to solve it? Or can you only be forced to undergo an operation with a success rate of less than [-]%?"

Zhang Shuqing said in a low voice: "In fact, there are no such cases in China, but there have been a few similar cases in the world."

"Which hospital?" Liu Jun asked.

“American Mayo!”

Liu Jun's face darkened again, "It is impossible for the patient to go to the United States. If there is no place in China that can treat him, then you have to try this operation."

Zhang Shuqing showed a helpless expression.

Director Liu really put him on fire!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

Zhang Shuqing slapped his head, how could he forget him!

He immediately turned his head and said to Liu Jun: "Director, I know there is a hospital in Shanghai, maybe this operation can be performed!"

Liu Jun was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Where? Modu Central Hospital?"

"No." Zhang Shuqing shook his head slightly, "It's Yunhua Hospital in Shanghai."

"Yunhua?" Liu Jun was amazed, "It's the newly opened private hospital, Xiao Zhang, are you kidding me?"

A newly opened private hospital can perform surgeries that even top tertiary hospitals like theirs can't do?
Liu Jun looked at Zhang Shuqing suspiciously. Could it be that he said this deliberately in order to shirk responsibility?
"Director, I'm really not joking." Zhang Shuqing said seriously, "Because Lu Chen is in Yunhua!"

"Lu Chen, that student of yours?" Liu Jun's eyes widened.

"Yes." Zhang Shuqing nodded, "He joined Yunhua Hospital as soon as he came back from Mayo."

"If there is anyone in Huaxia who can perform this TAVR and TMVR surgery, then he is the only one!"

Liu Jun stood up and paced back and forth in the director's office.

With his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed into a ball, he stopped suddenly and looked at Zhang Shuqing.

"How sure do you think you, a student, are about this operation?"

Zhang Shuqing thought for a while and said, "At least taller than me!"

Lu Chen, who was in Shanghai back then, was much more proficient in TAVR surgery than him.

Not to mention that so many years have passed, and Lu Chen has been studying at Mayo for many years.

"Alright then." Liu Jun said slowly, "Please contact Lu Chen and ask for his opinion. If possible, we will transfer the patient to Yunhua now!"
