Chapter 2304: 2226 Darker, More Scientific, More Technical

"Director, I plan to treat this patient with interventional surgery." Zheng Ren said afterwards.

Director Kong heard Zheng Ren's words and was stunned, thinking he might have misread the film.

On the viewer in front only hung a chest X-ray of a patient with advanced dilated cardiomyopathy; this is a preoperative examination, but what Zheng Lao Ban actually plans to do is TIPS surgery.

"Hmm, that must be it," Director Kong thought. However, this patient's heart condition is poor, making the surgery very difficult.

"What about the liver images?"

"I haven't seen them; we'll just do a B-ultrasound when the patient arrives to supplement it." Zheng Ren said casually, his eyes never leaving the images on the viewer.

"……" Director Kong frowned and asked, "Zheng Lao Ban, what surgery are you preparing to do?"

"Left ventricular interventional folding procedure, to replace the Baptista surgery in treating the dilated left ventricle."

This time Zheng Lao Ban spoke clearly, and Director Kong fell completely silent.

Zheng Lao Ban is capable, willing, and responsible—these Director Kong acknowledges. But for the surgery of advanced dilated cardiomyopathy, is Zheng Lao Ban also going to do it? And using interventional surgery?

It seems Director Huang Fangxiong of Anzhen Hospital performed the country's first such surgery over twenty years ago, yet it has never been widely promoted nationwide.

The mortality of this surgery is too high; nobody dares to touch it, nobody wants to.

But if he wants to do the surgery, that's fine; even if it fails, the hospital can bear it. However, using interventional surgery to operate on advanced dilated cardiomyopathy—what the heck is this!

Director Kong suppressed his surprise, was about to ask Zheng Ren in detail what he wanted to do, when the phone rang.

【They said quickly write a love song, for refined and popular tastes……】

Zheng Ren looked at the number on his phone, somewhat dazed.

"Who?" Su Yun asked doubtfully.

"I don't know; it's a very unfamiliar number."

Saying this, Zheng Ren answered the phone.

Su Yun leaned in close and immediately heard Dutch with a Rotterdam accent coming from Zheng Ren's phone.

Zheng Ren then slightly dazed, returned to normal, and began chatting and laughing with that person.

"Who?" Lin Yuan asked softly.

"Just a kid, wanting to know everything." Su Yun said disdainfully.

Lin Yuan gave him a glare.

"What does Zheng Lao Ban mean by that?" Seeing Zheng Lao Ban about to go out, Director Kong made way at the doorway and looked at Su Yun asking.

"It's Dutch, probably a friend I met during the last mission calling." Su Yun said with a chuckle.

"Mission?"

"Friend?"

Director Kong and Lin Yuan, as colleagues, asked; Zhao Wenhua hid behind, already dumbfounded from hearing.

"I didn't mishear; it should be Christian Bruhl. That guy got seriously injured without even meeting, but later the boss gave him... well, it's basically that a close relation looked after his illness, and the relationship improved." Su Yun said.

He was also curious how the so-called Great Ke Li made the phone call.

However, he only knows a little Dutch; having just returned from a castle in the Alps, the time is still too short to master a foreign language in such a short period, especially Dutch, this obscure language.

"Christian?!" Lin Yuan suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't make such a loud fuss, as if you knew him." Su Yun said disdainfully.

"I know this person; he's a very important figure behind Lanke Company!" Lin Yuan said excitedly, "Once our hospital added a new independent director..."

"You're currently in 912; this is your hospital. Speaking of Haval, do you know them, do they know you?" Su Yun said coldly.

"Tch." Lin Yuan lost interest from Su Yun's words.

"And then?" Director Kong chuckled, smoothing things over.

"My classmate later looked up many materials; supposedly, the family of Christian Bruhl is the true behind-the-scenes holder of Lanke Company."

"Isn't Lanke Company's equity quite dispersed?" Director Kong, who knows a bit, asked doubtfully.

"Mm-hmm, many are equity in the form of funds, but ultimately they link to several funds belonging to the Bruhl family. And this family has no formal records. My classmate likes all kinds of gossip; this is also her speculation."

Su Yun thought, these vampires' hands really reach far.

Director Kong listened to Lin Yuan finish, then paused.

Zheng Lao Ban has a demand; even Lanke Company's CEO isn't weighty enough—does the true behind-the-scenes ruler have to call to inquire?

How could I not know that Zheng Lao Ban has reached this extent?

Zhao Wenhua listened quietly; the more he listened, the more he felt he had become a mere doctor, utterly unaware of what the senior directors were discussing when they talked expansively.

Soon, Zheng Ren walked back holding his phone.

"What did Ke Li say?" Su Yun asked.

"The consumables are ready, a private jet is delivering them. They're completing entry procedures; we need our hospital to cooperate." Zheng Ren smiled.

"……"

Everyone in the room fell silent, while the patient's family members still stood there, bewildered about what had happened.

"Ke Li is still a decent person." Su Yun said with a smile.

"I suspect there's something else; we'll deal with it when the time comes." Zheng Ren clearly thought of other things.

"Oh? What problem?"

"I don't know either; Ke Li said this material is a product of one of their subordinate research institutes, not yet mass-produced, after all few people can perform the surgery. For now, let's treat it as supplies for left ventricular wall tumor interventional surgery; he's very curious what I intend to use it for."

"The Bruhl family is truly rich, researching this; once it's formed and heart 3D printing officially enters clinical use, this thing is actually useless." Su Yun pouted and shook his head.

Such high-value consumables must first be thin; they have to be very thin. Otherwise, the puncture needle passing from the right ventricle through the atrial septum, then penetrating the left ventricular wall, the anchor fixation line—if it's thick, the heart would suffer too much damage.

Secondly, it must be very strong and flexible. The force of the heartbeat is great; during surgery, with the heart still beating, the thread is used to bind and fix the thickened left ventricle's left and right sides, reducing the ventricular cavity.

Especially the first stitch, the tensile force it bears should not be too large.

This specially made thread is surely pure black technology; it should be darker, more scientific, more technical than the thread currently used worldwide in over a hundred cases of left ventricular wall tumor surgery!

Ke Li's side seemed not to know about this matter at all; he just called Smith himself, and Lanke Company reported up layer by layer, only then did Ke Li inquire about this matter.

What else could it be if you're rich and idle?

"Zheng Lao Ban, just how exactly are you planning to use interventional surgery to perform the operation for dilated cardiomyopathy?" Director Kong became even more curious this time.

"Oh, that's how it is, Director." Zheng Ren picked up a ballpoint pen, took an A4 sheet, and began drawing on it.

An anatomical diagram of a heart appeared on the A4 sheet.
