Chapter 558: The Billionaire's Life-Continuation Game (Part 1)

After the change of heart, Uncle Zhao kept a low profile and lived a peaceful life.

Apart from going to the hospital for reexamination every week and doing a good job of follow-up after surgery, he never mentioned it to the outside world, for fear that others would find out that there was any abnormality in him.

He is low-key and invisible, but the doctors in the hospital are more high-profile than each other.

Director Li not only praised it in the circle of friends, but also strongly recommended the artificial heart to every patient with advanced heart failure, and advised them not to wait for a heart transplant.

There are really a few patients who have waited for seven or eight years but have not waited for a matching heart. They volunteered to dedicate their lives to medical research and applied for humanitarian exemption surgery one after another.

Five or six patients with advanced heart failure have been replaced with artificial hearts, their lives have been saved and their quality of life has been greatly improved.

Such results, coupled with the survival period of up to 3 months after heart replacement in experimental animals, made the safety of the artificial heart also recognized.

After receiving approval from the health department, Sanqing's artificial heart officially started clinical trials.

Unlike drugs and common devices, artificial hearts are implanted in the human body and run for a long time to maintain life, so they have the highest level of requirements.

According to the requirements, the domestic artificial heart needs to complete at least 50 clinical trials of rescuing patients with advanced heart failure, and the survival rate within three months must be above 80% to pass the test and pass the marketing approval.

Sanqing's artificial heart naturally also meets this requirement.

This is because it has a major technological breakthrough and high biocompatibility. It is not a common transitional product on the market, but a permanent artificial heart. It is an accelerated path for innovation.

50 cases are not too many for Sanqing, but after implantation in the human body, follow-up should be continued to ensure long-term safety and functionality.

If these two points can be guaranteed, the artificial heart is likely to become another option for patients with heart failure, rather than a temporary solution for "bridging therapy".

Whether the artificial heart can replace heart transplantation depends firstly on whether the probability of complications of the artificial heart is high or not, and secondly on comparing it with heart transplantation to see whether the survival curves of the two are similar.

If after the artificial heart is implanted, the patient is alive and well, free from illness and disaster, and can survive for more than ten years, then it is indeed no different from a heart transplant.

On the contrary, it is more convenient and cheaper, at least you don't need to take rejection drugs for a long time, and the maintenance cost is much lower.

Moreover, there is no trace of surgery on the appearance of the Sanqing artificial heart, and the patient has no psychological burden to use it. In all aspects, it is also a good choice that can be done in one step.

Unlike other surgeries, the implantation of an artificial heart is not the end of treatment, but the beginning.

Next, the patient's survival time is the key to determining whether the artificial heart can be successful.

To be on the safe side, it will take at least half a year to a year before a conclusion can be drawn.

*****

Kunming, First People's Hospital.

"In this way, after the artificial heart is inserted into the human body, it is stitched together with the heart, one end is connected to the left and right atria of the heart, and the other end is connected to the human aorta, completely replacing the blood pumping function of the left and right ventricles."

"Blood enters the artificial heart from the left and right ventricle through the artificial blood vessel, and then the artificial heart pushes the blood out, and sends it to the aorta through the outflowing large blood vessel, thus completing the patient's blood circulation..."

Hawke stood in the operating room, staring dumbfounded at everything in front of him, his brain went blank for an instant, and his whole body became stiff with astonishment.

As a surgeon in Cleveland, the world's second private hospital, and a rising star in the heart surgery department, he is well-informed.

What ventricular septal defect repair, patent ductus arteriosus ligation, atrial septal defect repair, stent surgery, valve replacement, coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valvuloplasty and so on.

What surgery has he never seen?

Not to mention those simple or complicated heart surgeries, it's not like he hasn't done heart transplant surgeries.

However, he had never seen this scene before him.

Not only is it a permanent artificial heart, it does not need to be connected to a power source, and it is completely invisible after it is done.

This unimaginable scene not only strongly impacted his three views, but also made him, who has always been confident, begin to doubt life.

Has technology really advanced to this point?

Is this really something humans can do?

How exactly?

Hawk kept torturing himself in his heart, and finally had to face reality and accepted the answer.

Sanqing Weikang!

It was that man, the man known as Einstein in medicine, who performed this miracle.

At first, he couldn't believe everything in front of him, but when he thought that this was the result of Sanqing, he immediately began to take it for granted.

Except for that man, there is no one in the world who can perform miracles every day.

He suddenly felt a little relieved in his heart, and there was also a hint of joy mixed with it.

Fortunately, Cleveland and the Sanqing Imperial Hospital have reached a strategic cooperation, so I was able to witness this grand occasion in the first place.

When the artificial heart passes the FDA review, it is not known when it will be clinically overseas.

Originally, he was a little disapproving of the study plan in Kunming City, but from the moment he saw the artificial heart, all dissatisfaction was forgotten by him.

Coming here, in fact, studying medicine is second, and the most important thing is to learn the latest cutting-edge medical technology released by Sanqing.

Having figured this out, he couldn't help admiring the foresight of Dean Dr. Harrison.

After the operation was completed, with an excited heart, he took pictures of the operation, and even took pictures of the patient's postoperative actions, which were no different from ordinary people, and sent them to his immediate superior.

"Dear Dr. Charlie, my study life at Sanqing was very busy and fulfilling, full of surprises everywhere. Just today, I saw the artificial heart just developed by Sanqing, which is simply a miraculous operation. For a detailed video, please see the attachment."

"There is no doubt that Sanqing will set off a revolution in the extra-cardiac field, no, not just the heart, but in the entire field of artificial organs. In any case, we cannot miss such a grand event in Cleveland."

"I am very curious about the survival rate of these patients who have been transplanted with artificial hearts. I want to know whether they will have complications and how long they can survive. In short, I don't want to miss a day of their status within 6 months. .”

"Therefore, I request to apply to extend my study period from 3 months to 6 months, and please approve it."

After the mail was sent, it arrived at its destination very quickly.

In Eagle Country on the other side of the ocean, Dr. Charlie came to the office early in the morning and saw the video of his favorite student.

He is more experienced than Hawke, and he immediately reacted after watching the first few minutes.

"It turned out to be a total artificial heart, not a ventricular assist device sewn on the apex of the heart!"

Realizing this, Charlie suddenly trembled, staring at the screen, and couldn't wait to watch it.

Looking at it, his expression became more and more fascinated, and the whole person was intoxicated.

After watching the entire video, Dr. Charlie jumped up from his seat like a carp.

"I made a mistake. I didn't go there in person this time, and I missed such an important discovery."

"I have to report this to the dean as soon as possible. By the way, there is another one."

After Dr. Charlie forwarded the mail to Dean Harrison, he left in a hurry.

He wanted to share the good news with an important person.
