Professor Zhao's face changed, and he subconsciously said: "That's impossible!"

"Oh? How is it impossible?" Su Yun said with a teasing expression, picked up his phone, saw the screen in the operating room light up, inside already began stepping the line for Super-selective, and just started timing.

Professor Zhao felt a bit embarrassed, but still maintained his composure, thinking, "Where did this brat come from? Why is Director Kong speaking to him so politely?"

Perhaps, he really is someone's brat.

"Xiao Zhao, watch the surgery carefully, Zheng Lao Ban might finish in 25 minutes; don't miss anything or you'll regret it later." Director Kong also didn't want any trouble; this is his own place, they're all his own people, if there's any unhappiness, he himself as the director would be the first to be embarrassed.

Professor Zhao smiled, nodded to indicate he wouldn't argue with Su Yun, then immediately focused on the LCD screen in the operating room.

On the screen, a black line kept moving; that was the shadow of the microguidewire.

Actually using domestic consumables, he didn't know that domestic microguidewires are hard and not easy to use? Young people are blinded by profit, who knows how many benefits Long Feng gave him. Professor Zhao saw that microguidewire and thought.

Liver artery branch, at the liver segment eight position, the Super-selective was accomplished in one go; instantly the microcatheter entered, began injecting medicine.

The technique was still okay, but being able to gain Director Kong's approval, being someone who can do prostate embolization, this kind of place is fundamentally not a difficulty.

However Professor Zhao looked at the screen more seriously; he didn't believe the nonsense about 25 minutes. Most importantly, that Su Yun started timing directly, instead of waiting for the operator to finish super-selecting the internal mammary artery before timing.

Do they really think super-selecting the internal mammary artery is that simple? Is this playing house for kids?

It's simply a joke.

However, I heard that this person already did a heart transplant on mice during graduate school, and is a future impressive figure. Although I don't know if it's true, but it's not wise to offend them too badly.

Professor Zhao watched the screen; after a brief guidewire avoidance blind maneuver, the screen moved again. Has the microguidewire reached the position again? This operation is fast!

He stared for a moment, then looked closely; the microguidewire had already advanced in the second feeding blood vessel of the liver malignant tumor.

On the wall of this blood vessel, a feeding blood vessel branching from the hepatic artery is much finer and more tortuous; the difficulty of Super-selective increases geometrically.

This is Professor Zhao's own judgment, but if we look at the surgical process, the so-called difficulty shows no sign at all.

The microguidewire continued to advance smoothly; at each tortuous position, the microguidewire had microscopic movements almost invisible to the naked eye.

If not for being an expert in this field with a deep understanding of surgery; and if the chief surgeon had performed countless surgeries and had rich surgical experience, one would not notice those microscopic movements.

Just like with the previous blood vessel, the microguidewire entered, then the microcatheter entered, injected medicine, and embolized.

This... this is too fast, right?

Professor Zhao felt a chill.

He realized that he and the young undergraduate who had been air-dropped in to perform the surgery, who not long ago was a doctor at the Emergency Department Inpatient Chief, had a huge gap.

But he instinctively denied this.

This isn't a gap, it's a chasm!

Even at Professor Zhao's level of surgical skill, he could realize just how great the distance between himself and the operator is.

No way, a few months ago when he did prostate embolization, he himself had watched, it was just that his technique was more refined and his courage a bit greater. Speaking of the gap, Professor Zhao really didn't think there would be such a huge, insurmountable distance.

What exactly did his hands do back then to smoothly...

Professor Zhao spaced out for a moment, and soon came to. When he again paid attention to the screen, the tumor's third blood vessel had already been embolized completely.

I go... should it be this fast?!

The third blood vessel, however, is a branch from the renal artery going to supply blood to the tumor tissue. How long did the operator take? 3 minutes or 2 minutes? Did just a moment of dazing finish it?

Could the operator really complete the super-selective of the internal mammary artery in just 25 minutes?

Now, Professor Zhao has begun to somewhat believe Su Yun's words.

If it's true, then it would mean that there is a boundless chasm between his level and the operator's level, difficult... fundamentally impossible to cross.

Not only now, but whether he can reach that level in his lifetime is uncertain.

The patient's liver malignant tumor has four feeding blood vessels; three have been embolized, leaving one, which is a branch from the internal mammary artery going down to feed the malignant tumor.

Professor Zhao held his breath and focused, watching the microguidewire advance in the blood vessel.

When stepping the line, the microguidewire happened to rest at the first branch opening of the subclavian artery. Is this the result of blind maneuvering? Can it really be this precise?

As soon as the line was stepped, the microguidewire directly entered the next-level blood vessel from the subclavian artery branch opening.

Here, the branch angle is greater than 75°, which is a very difficult operation in Interventional surgery. But in the operator's hand, there is no sense of difficulty; it's done in one go, so natural.

Below, below should slow down a bit, Professor Zhao thought.

After entering the internal mammary artery segment, the blood vessel becomes finer and more tortuous.

But he saw the microguidewire freely wandering in the blood vessel, with no obstruction, following the internal mammary artery's main trunk directly super-selecting the third bifurcation, entering the internal mammary artery proliferative segment — that is the blood vessel feeding the liver malignant tumor.

Not to mention repeated Super-selective, even if encountering plaques on the vessel wall and thrombus clumps, Professor Zhao felt that even using an ordinary thick guidewire, the operator wouldn't run into those things that make him anxious and headache.

He looked dumbfounded, to the extent that the most difficult part of the surgery — super-selecting a next-level artery from the abnormal branch of the internal mammary artery, heading straight to the liver — was completely overlooked by him.

In Professor Zhao's mind, there was only one thought: This is impossible!

Yeah, how could this be possible!

Super-selective completed, medicine injected, embolized, imaged, the liver malignant tumor completely disappeared.

Pull out the guidewire and catheter, surgery ends.

Director Kong glanced at the phone placed on the operating table; the time showed 24′36″.

Hehe, this Su Yun, although I rarely see him operate, just based on this eyesight, I estimate his level is not lower than mine.

Director Kong pretended it was nothing, picked up his phone, turned off the timer, handed the phone to Su Yun, and said with a smile: "Su Yun, what's your level in Interventional surgery?"

"Not bad, but I can't beat the boss, so I find Interventional surgery boring." Su Yun blew a breath, his black hair fluttering in front of his forehead.

In the operating room, the little nurses' eyes lit up with a "swish".

"Next one, you give it a try?" Director Kong asked: "Long time no see, let's see how big a surprise you can give me."

"What surprise, Director Kong?" Zheng Ren had already opened the airtight lead door, walking out of the Operating Room.
