When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 828: Chapter 829: The Ancestral Craft! (Extra 1 for Alliance Hierarch Shi Tai, Your Integrity Has Fallen)

Mitral valve replacement is a surgery that involves trimming the valve and then suturing an artificial valve to replace the function of the mitral valve when the native valve cannot be formed!

At this time, Xu Ziming suddenly sighed, “This valve isn’t cheap, it’s specially purchased from abroad by Zhu Hanliang, just this little piece costs one hundred and twenty thousand US dollars!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang was taken aback for a moment!

“That expensive?”

Although he knew that valves were quite expensive, he hadn’t expected them to be this costly!

Xu Ziming said, “The material is quite special, said to be biomimetic, supposedly not much different from the natural structure and function of the human mitral valve, but who knows.”

“Right, what you just sutured… didn’t you feel anything?”

Chen Cang was again taken aback, “I sutured it too quickly, I didn’t feel anything…”

Xu Ziming was stunned and suddenly lost for words.

For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

However, at that moment, Chen Cang picked up the artificial valve from the basin with tweezers and felt it carefully.

“Indeed, it’s different!”

This action instantly drew everyone’s attention!

Xu Ziming was dumbfounded, “You… you didn’t use it? What did you use to suture?”

Chen Cang matter-of-factly replied, “Why would I need that much? I removed the large leaflets and the papillary muscles inside, the smaller leaflets, annulus, those are still usable.”

“I just trimmed a part, sutured the artificial valve to the annulus, and repaired it, and it turned out like this, the result isn’t bad!”

Hearing Chen Cang’s words, the crowd couldn’t help but be stunned.

Didn’t they know that was good?

But the difficulty is still high, why don’t you say that?

Preserving the living valve is “The True Secret of Valve Replacement Surgery”!

Most of the time, however, considering the safety of the surgery and the difficulty, among other factors, trimming is still required after weighing the pros and cons for a long time.

After all, if you have a moment of inspiration while skillfully trimming and suddenly the knife slips, damaging the ventricle, you could collapse instantly.

This surgical mishap would be yours alone, full responsibility…

And Chen Cang, having completed the trimming in such a short time, rapidly cut the patch and then skillfully sutured it…

The crowd stared at the patch for a long time!

“Little Chen, are your parents tailors?”

Ma Yuehui also wanted to ask this question!

After all, are you cutting valves like you’re cutting paper?

Chen Cang shook his head, “No! They’re chefs! My grandfather… many generations of my ancestors have been chefs.”

Xu Ziming suddenly saw the light.

Chefs… chefs!

No wonder he’s so talented.

The other directors also nodded in agreement, yes… no wonder he’s so talented. His family are chefs; it’s an inherent advantage, growing up with exposure to animal organs, tissues, and knives!

Hmm!

Suddenly, everyone felt at ease at this moment.

After all, what’s the shame in losing at the starting line?

His ancestors had been playing with knives for generations while you’ve only been at it for a few days.

Everyone exchanged nods of understanding.

This excuse was just too convenient.

It perfectly cushioned the blow to their pride delivered by Chen Cang.

But now, a problem presented itself.

“What about this valve? Do we return it?” Chen Cang couldn’t help asking. After all, it was so expensive, and half of it was left… that would be… fifty or sixty thousand US dollars.

Xu Ziming also hesitated for a moment!

This was the first time he had encountered such a problem since becoming the head of cardiothoracic surgery!

There was a valve leftover!

Chen Cang had truly stumped him with this dilemma.

Since he started working in cardiac surgery, he had never heard of a mitral valve replacement where you could be left with half of an artificial valve.

Chen Cang really had opened everyone’s eyes!

Talk about an educational experience!

The other directors were simultaneously crying and laughing.

Throw it away? No way, that’s tens of thousands of dollars.

After some hesitation,

Xu Ziming said, “Go back and discuss with the family whether they want to take it home or not. Who knows, they might need it again in the future, right?”

Ma Yuehui’s scalp tingled, “Do you think it’s like buying clothes where they give you an extra button?”

The mitral valve replacement was extremely success!

The function of the artificial valve opening and closing was excellent, surprising everyone.

At first, they were curious, thinking it was because the quality of the artificial valve was superior.

But now they found, it might be due to Chen Cang maximizing the use of the patient’s own valve tissue, with the annulus driving the native valve, which in turn drove the artificial valve – this kind of effect was much better than the artificial valve alone!

Although studies show that valves themselves do not have nerve distribution, but… your own tissue is ultimately the most reliable!

Who can guarantee hundreds of years from now research won’t show: maybe the mitral valve actually has life? Perhaps the appendix is the dantian, and kidney stones are truly the Golden Core…

…

…

In the large office outside, after witnessing that scene, laughter spread among them.

They were all experts in cardiology and naturally understood these matters.

Wu Tongpu couldn’t help but chuckle as he stared at the big screen, this kid was truly something!

To leave that much of the valve behind!

But as everyone processed the situation, they became deeply terrified!

Chen Cang had completed a series of tasks in a very short time, such as valve repair, artificial valve construction, valve suture, and implantation.

Yet, it was unexpected to see the work done with such precision!

Truly terrifying!

However…

When everyone heard that Chen Cang’s ancestors for several generations had been chefs, they all nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

These were skills passed down from his ancestors, incomparable.

His family had been masters of the knife generation after generation, it was not surprising at all for this “genius surgeon” to emerge.

Thinking this, each director and specialist suddenly thought that when recruiting master’s and Ph.D. students in the future, maybe they should consider adding a new criterion: priority for those with ancestors who were chefs, butchers, tailors, etc…

Something to consider indeed!

After completing the surgery, Chen Cang was supposed to de-air and then as quickly as possible release the aortic cross-clamp to restore circulation to the aorta.

But what Chen Cang did next made everyone pause!

Xu Ziming was taken aback, “Are you… really going to shave it off?”

Everyone watched as Chen Cang moved the scalpel toward the continuously beating atrium.

Remembering Chen Cang’s earlier words, “Shave it!”

They all did a double-take.

How would he shave it?

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt their heartbeats increase in nervous anticipation!

Even the left atrium was panicking!

Damn it, encountering a surgeon like this, it’s hard to know whether it’s a blessing or a curse!

At this time, they could see that the patient’s left atrium was significantly enlarged due to long-term compensation, making it well-trained and muscular!

The ever-enlarging left atrium had even begun to compress the left main bronchus, the left ventricle, and the middle and lower lobes of the right lung, impacting cardiopulmonary function.

Therefore, before concluding the surgery, Chen Cang planned to do some precise trimming.

Since he had already established extracorporeal circulation for the heart, Chen Cang naturally wanted to complete the surgery in the best possible way.

Just then, in the external office, Wu Tongpu’s face turned pale with shock, “Left atrial reduction surgery?”
