Chapter 917: Chapter 799 Hurry up, there are more customers waiting

It wasn’t that Academician Wang doubted the person recommended by Professor Xin, with coronary bypass skills surpassing those of Professor Xu, and aortic dissection surgery surpassing Professor Xin himself, capable of publishing 13 CNS articles—there was no doubt about the level of expertise.

However, this case was extremely rare and highly difficult and risky, and Yang Ping had not taken it seriously enough, which worried the old academician about young people being overconfident and running into trouble.

After all, he was still a young man, high-spirited and proud, prone to underestimating challenges; experience needed to accumulate over time, and talent could not replace experience.

"Your surgical plan, let’s hear it," Academician Wang asked.

Yang Ping asked Song Zimo to bring him a piece of paper and a pen.

He sketched the surgical plan on the paper and said, "Cut both the aorta and pulmonary artery, exchange and anastomose them, then reconstruct the interventricular septum, and correct the mitral valve, tricuspid valve, and interatrial septum. If correction encounters difficulties, replacement might be an option—"

"What about cardiac arrest and resuscitation?" Academician Wang stared at Yang Ping’s surgical sketch.

"Keep the surgery under six hours, resuscitation won’t be a problem," Yang Ping appeared confident and relaxed.

Academician Wang nodded slightly, not in approval of Yang Ping’s surgical plan, but at the drawing itself; the contours of the heart and major vessels were outlined almost in one stroke without any hesitation, and after the outlines were completed, the pencil miraculously added details, thereby presenting a three-dimensional heart illustration on the paper.

After decades in medicine and authoring over a dozen specialized texts featuring the best medical illustrators, Academician Wang had never seen such exquisite medical illustration.

After savoring the artistic impact of the hand-drawn illustration, Academician Wang started to ponder Yang Ping’s surgical plan, which seemed flawless.

"Caution drives the boat of a thousand years, especially for us surgeons, with our surgical knives tied to life and death," Academician Wang exclaimed.

Yang Ping knew what Academician Wang was worried about: "I’ve handled tougher cases than this, severe congenital heart defects, and worst-case scenarios involving mirror men."

"Congenital heart defects in a mirror man?" Academician Wang was quite surprised.

Mirror man, due to the reversed anatomical structure of the heart compared to the normal, challenges doctors who deal with typical anatomy every day; Academician Wang had only heard of such cases but had never seen one.

"Exactly, it was my case, and I was at my wit’s end, so I could only ask Professor Yang to step in as chief surgeon," Li Zehui confirmed from the side.

At this point, a competent assistant brought a laptop, pulled up all the information on this case, including the surgical video, and Academician Wang was very interested.

He leaned in and watched carefully, from the medical records and image illustrations to the surgical video.

After watching, Academician Wang took a deep breath, "Young man, you are truly remarkable. I must admit, if I were to perform this surgery, it would take me over twenty hours to complete, and I might not even dare to undertake it."

No wonder Professor Yang’s heart surgeries were so formidable, having tackled such highly specialized surgeries early on and even then able to assist Li Zehui in surgery.

Ah, Academician Wang sighed internally; the new waves of the Yangtze River drive on those ahead of them, always uneasy about the young, it seems the younger generation surpasses the old.

The attendees included veteran specialists in cardiac surgery, with Li Zehui coming from afar.

That evening, Yang Ping asked Little Five to book a private room at Uncle Er’s Grilled Fish on behalf of the specialists from Fuwai and Anzhen and Li Zehui as a courtesy of the host.

Uncle Er’s Grilled Fish Restaurant was thriving, with its signature grilled fish establishing a unique reputation, making it a suitable venue for hosting dinners around the area.

Upon hearing that the Comprehensive Surgery had reserved a private room, Uncle Er immediately got involved personally, selecting the ingredients and cooking himself.

Uncle Er’s chronic lumbar disk herniation had troubled him for over a decade, but after Yang Ping performed a foraminotomy on him, there had been no recurrence. As someone advancing in age with various ailments, having Yang Ping as a support gave Uncle Er a much greater sense of security

Hearing that a mine owner had purchased a residence in the community near the hospital, Uncle Er also considered buying a property there for his retirement, given its proximity to the hospital for convenience.

There was one private room in the grilled fish restaurant specifically reserved for Yang Ping; even if he didn’t come, the room was never rented out to strangers.

The restaurant’s sign at the entrance now featured a clean fish skeleton, which was actually the remains of a grilled fish Yang Ping had left behind, preserved by Uncle Er who had it photographed by a photographer to make the sign.

With everyone being specialists, discussions about various cases were inevitable during the meal, as doctors gathered together and their most common topic was always the medical cases.

What projects Anzhen was currently working on, any unique cases Fuwai had recently, the progress of cardiac surgery development in Cleveland in the United States—all were topics for discussion.

Exchange promotes progress, isolation causes regression, and it is very important for peers to exchange ideas.

Through these discussions, it was discovered that Cleveland was currently studying a project—using a patient’s stem cells to grow human hearts in pigs and then transplanting them back into patients. However, they had only done two clinical trials, with the second patient dying six weeks post-operation.

Anzhen was researching a "transplant vascular wall" technology for coronary bypass, which had reached the animal experimentation stage; if successful, it would enhance the effects of coronary bypass surgery.

Fuwai was also exploring the application of stem cells in cardiac surgery, although there had been no significant breakthroughs so far.

After dinner, Yang Ping checked his phone.

There were currently many groups on WeChat, including international ones. Song Yun had his Union Group, Su Nanchen had also set up one with some young doctors from Nandu Affiliated Hospital No. 1, and now Director Xin had created a Cardiac Surgery Group, which not only included specialists from Anzhen and Fuwai, but also a few doctors from the cardiac surgery departments at Nandu Affiliated Hospital No. 1 and Sanbo Hospital.
