   Chapter 890 Turnaround

  Finally, one month after Yunhua opened.

  The Department of Cardiology welcomed its first surgical patient.

   This patient is from Guanghai Central Hospital and used to be Lu Chen's patient.

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

   After wandering around, he finally found Lu Chen.

  Lu Chen performed a difficult domestic TAVR operation on him.

   After surgery, the patient's cardiac function recovered by more than half.

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

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

   Now in the fifth year of the operation, the patient had a repeat echocardiogram and found that the aortic valve had a problem again.

   Replacement of aging TAVR valve, that is, secondary TAVR surgery.

   This is a top-level operation in the whole of China.

   With the medical level of Guanghai, it has not yet reached this level.

  The family members of the patient came to Yunhua Private Hospital where Lu Chen is located after the guidance of Professor Shi Langqin.

   This patient came from Lu Chen.

  Because the entire Yunhua Hospital was quite empty, the patient had a green light all the way after he came to Yunhua.

   Surgery was scheduled soon.

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

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

   He currently has a TAVR Intervention Expert skill card.

   The existing TAVR techniques, Lu Chen is very proficient in mastering them.

   This operation was demonstrated in the Yunhua Cardiology Department.

   Everyone can come to visit and learn.

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

  …

   The whole operation went very smoothly.

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

  This operation is of great significance to Yunhua.

   The difficulty of surgery is considered to be the top in the whole of China.

  Zou Liqian naturally would not miss this good opportunity and began to hype and build momentum in major medical media.

   This is the advantage of being a big-caliber doctor, who can open up a situation for the hospital in a very short time!

   With the exposure of Lu Chen's operation, more and more people in the industry and patients began to notice this brand new private hospital.

   However, Lu Chen knows that this is just the beginning, and what he has done is far from enough!

  Yunhua is like a newborn baby, walking in a staggering way, and it can't compare to the traditional top three hospitals in Modu.

   However, the turnaround is coming soon!

  …

  Department of Cardiology of the First Hospital of Magic City.

  This is the department where Lu Chen once stayed.

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

   "Director Liu, this patient's condition is too serious, it's 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 your condition serious? Or you haven't done it before and dare not do it?" Liu Jun, director of the Department of Cardiology, frowned.

   This patient is a relative of a certain leader in Modu.

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

   "Director, there are both factors!" Zhang Shuqing said solemnly, "For valvular lesions like this, routine surgery should be surgical thoracotomy."

  Complicated valve disease can only be completely repaired by thoracotomy.

   "His heart function is in a mess, can't he open his chest in this situation?" Liu Jun asked back.

   "Well, if the chest is opened, the patient will not be able to tolerate it, and it is very likely that they 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, transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

  TMVR is Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement.

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

"First of all, we have never done this kind of combined surgery, and we have zero experience in this area; secondly, the risk of this surgery is too high, and there are too many uncontrollable factors. I have estimated by myself that if I were to do it, the success rate of the surgery would be Less than fifty percent."

   After listening to Zhang Shuqing's words, Director Liu Jun was a little 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, "Has any hospital in China done similar cases?"

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

   Liu Jun frowned.

   "So, there is really no other way to solve it? Or you can only force yourself to perform an operation with a success rate of less than 50%?"

   Zhang Shuqing said in a low voice: "Actually, there are none in China, but there have been several similar cases internationally."

   "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 the country that can treat him, then you can only try this operation."

   Zhang Shuqing showed a helpless look.

   Director Liu is really putting him on fire!

   Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind.

   Zhang Shuqing patted his head, how could he have been forgotten!

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

   Liu Jun was startled, and quickly asked, "Where? Magic Capital Central Hospital?"

   "No." Zhang Shuqing shook his head slightly, "It's the Yunhua Hospital of the Magic Capital."

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

   They can't perform surgery in a top-level tertiary hospital, can a newly opened private hospital do it?

   Liu Jun looked at Zhang Shuqing suspiciously. Could it be that he deliberately said this to shirk responsibility?

   "Director, I'm not kidding." Zhang Shuqing said sternly, "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 else in China who can perform this TAVR and TMVR surgery, it is only him!"

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

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

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

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

   Lu Chen, who was in the magic capital, was much more proficient in TAVR surgery than he was.

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

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