Chapter 2307: with translation of chapter title

2229 Just became king, the technique was already eliminated.

But before Duomingge·Baoluo finished thinking the words of contempt for the operator in his heart, the puncture needle, as if endowed with 'magic', ignored the turbulent blood flow rushing inside the heart and directly stabbed the opposite side of the enlarged left ventricle.

At the moment the puncture succeeded, Duomingge·Baoluo's eyeballs almost popped out.

How did the operator manage to control that 'soft and fluffy' puncture needle!

At the same time, in another operating field, the operator quickly secured the suture on the puncture needle. An anchoring object was placed on the outer side of the left ventricle, and then he clamped the suture with the hemostatic forceps.

Soon, the same operation began for the second time.

Just like last time, the operator performing the interventional surgery was as calm and emotionless as a machine, showing not a trace of emotion, and precisely completed the puncture.

Duomingge·Baoluo even thought the synchronization rate of the two puncture processes was extremely high, to the point that even the timing was almost synchronized.

Without commenting on the level of surgical skill, just this puncture technique and the operator's fine control of the puncture needle to overcome the influence of blood flow during left ventricular contraction is enough to shock people.

The higher the doctor's level, and the more they understand cardiac anatomy and fluid dynamics, the more shocked they feel.

After several Minute, the four lines were in place, with the septum and the outer side of the left ventricle each fixed with an anchoring object.

Soon, several hands appeared in the operating fields on both sides.

Shou Bing finally slowed down, and a hemostatic forceps appeared in the operating field.

The operator seemed dissatisfied with the hand pulling the suture, waving the hemostatic forceps and striking the radial styloid of the other hand.

Shou Bing done to this point, Duomingge·Baoluo had already understood the operator's intention.

Using the suture to pull the enlarged left ventricle, reducing its cavity through external force, achieving the goal of the Baptista surgery.

But is it really possible?

Duomingge·Baoluo felt somewhat lost.

The patient is now in the state of end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy, with the left ventricular contraction weak and feeble. Even so, when I suture the heart, I must be extra careful; a little inattention and the suture will be 'torn' apart!

The operator in the Surgery Livestream Room needs to run the suture across the left ventricle and use the pulling force of the suture to reduce the left ventricular cavity.

The suture bears enormous pressure and is extremely prone to snapping.

Even if the suture is made of special material, determining how much force to use when tying the knot is a delicate task.

The operator is apparently deliberating this point; he wants the four sutures to tighten the left ventricular myocardium simultaneously so that the force can be evenly distributed among the four sutures.

The idea is wonderful, but Duomingge·Baoluo knows it involves very profound and complex physics and mathematical calculations.

Intuitively, Duomingge·Baoluo does not believe the surgery will succeed.

The operator tapped both hands, then stood on the opposite side and tightened the suture with a strange posture.

In the thoracic operating field, a pair of dexterous hands began tying knots. The force seemed too great to Duomingge·Baoluo, and he felt this knot would surely snap.

In the interventional imaging operating field, the four sutures were pulled tight, ready to snap at any moment.

Absurd! Performing surgery like this is nothing short of a joke.

Duomingge·Baoluo gave a cold snort.

He has tied knots hundreds of thousands of times in his life, familiar with all specifications of sutures. Moreover, as someone skilled in Baptista surgery, he is very clear about the force of the left ventricular contraction.

The operator's idea of using sutures to reduce the left ventricle is strange, yet feasible, and Duomingge·Baoluo does not deny that. In the Shou Bing just performed, the operator has already displayed the entire process of the Shou Bing with superb interventional surgery techniques before the world.

But!

Even if there is a breakthrough in material science, even if the knot-tying force is just right, even if…… all details are perfect, how can the operator guarantee the force of cardiac contraction?

If the postoperative cardiac ejection fraction is insufficient, the Shou Bing would be in vain.

Regarding this, doctors in Xiba who have studied the Baptista surgery for a long time know that every cut of the excised myocardium has its rationale.

Shape, size, angle—all of these must be carefully calculated.

The operator is too naive; how could a completely new technique be fully researched in a short time? Duomingge·Baoluo does not believe the Shou Bing will succeed; perhaps this 'attempt' will be the Waterloo of the operator in the Surgery Livestream Room.

While Duomingge·Baoluo was coldly snorting, the four sutures were tied one by one.

In the interventional operating field, the guidewire and catheter have been withdrawn, and the Shou Bing is declared over.

But the operating field did not move; obviously the operator was observing the Shou Bing's effect. Duomingge·Baoluo's cold smile grew stronger at the corner of his mouth; perhaps in the next second, the suture would snap.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what the operator will do after the suture snaps; will this livestream room be closed afterward?

Should we admit the Shou Bing failed and end it, or open the chest to perform a Baptista surgery?

Duomingge·Baoluo does not doubt that the operator can complete the Baptista surgery, but the patient's condition is so severe that even he himself would be unwilling to take on such an end-stage case.

This patient is truly lucky to have held on until now; if someone with slightly poorer physical condition, they would likely have already died from heart failure.

He lifted his coffee cup, feeling infinite contempt for the operator in the Surgery Livestream Room. A mere 22 Minute procedure, just to show off his stupidity?

But the next second, with his lips resting on the coffee cup, Duomingge·Baoluo felt as if immobilized by a freezing spell, his next action vanishing instantly.

His cold smile instantly froze into ice; Duomingge·Baoluo's eyes widened, staring at the image of the heart beating in the operating field.

The heartbeat is so powerful! The four sutures pull the heart, reducing the enlarged left ventricular cavity and restoring normal physiological anatomy.

It didn't break!

It didn't break!!

It didn't break!!!

Watching the heartbeat, Duomingge·Baoluo had already calculated the left ventricular ejection fraction in his mind—his specialty; even without cardiac ultrasound, he could roughly estimate the ejection fraction just by looking at the images and doing mental math.

The ejection fraction is greater than 50%, already restored to normal levels.

This is unscientific!

Duomingge·Baoluo stared fixedly at the screen of the interventional surgery; the enlarged left ventricular cavity had shrunk considerably, the contraction was strong and powerful, and the ejection fraction absolutely exceeded the lower limit of normal people's 50%.

Thus, the Shou Bing was declared successful; the operating field darkened, and the final image was of those four sutures, with added elasticity, increasing the heart's contraction.

The livestream room closed, leaving only countless barrage comments flying across the screen.

Impossible…… Duomingge·Baoluo thought to himself.

I had just become the king of Baptista surgery, yet I never expected that before the patient was discharged, Baptista surgery had already been eliminated!

Coffee trickled down the corner of his mouth; Duomingge·Baoluo seemed as if he had become senile, letting the coffee drip onto his clothes and trousers.
