First of all, everyone is paying more attention to the patient who is about to undergo a smart bionic heart transplant. This patient is called Zhang Lei. He is very young, less than thirty years old. Logically speaking, his age is the most energetic in his life.
It is a time of struggle and hard work. But when the camera showed Zhang Lei for the first time, this young man who was less than thirty years old was leaning on the hospital bed a little weakly, sucking oxygen, and the whole person looked very weak and old.
Zhang Lei is not a patient with congenital heart disease. He suffered from heart disease when he was about to end college. At that time, Zhang Lei was doing an internship, writing his graduation thesis, and preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. In addition, he accidentally went out to have a nightclub with friends.
Life is very irregular, and day and night are often reversed.
Originally, this was just the daily life of an ordinary college student, but Zhang Lei almost died from myocarditis caused by a cold. Fortunately, his roommate found out in time, and a junior student from the nursing department reached out to rescue him in time and called 120.
Sent to the hospital. After some rescue treatment, Zhang Lei gradually recovered. However, because the rescue missed the prime time and related sequelae, his heart was partially damaged, and this brought about more trouble for him.
Heart disease has become more and more serious in recent years.
Due to myocardial damage and Zhang Lei's subsequent suicide attempts and lack of proper recovery, he suffered a myocardial infarction not long after.
Fortunately, he received timely treatment and the doctor inserted several stents into his heart, finally stabilizing his condition. However, this situation did not last long, and soon he was hospitalized again, and his condition was still very serious.
In the end, under the operation of a famous cardiologist, he finally passed this life-and-death crisis. After experiencing this, Zhang Lei was frightened and changed his living habits a lot, but he still knew that he could not stop the deterioration of his condition.
Up to now, Zhang Lei's heart has been filled with stents and he has undergone several surgeries. And the doctor has clearly informed Zhang Lei's parents that he is no longer qualified for surgery.
The doctor's words were very reserved, but Zhang Lei's parents understood clearly. This was telling them that Zhang Lei's condition was almost incurable and asked them to be mentally prepared.
Zhang Lei's parents will definitely not accept this. While begging the doctors to save their child's life, they are also actively contacting experts.
Zhang Lei belongs to the generation around the millennium. He was always an only child before. After he was allowed to have a second child, his parents took the risk of being an advanced maternal age and gave him another sister.
So of course his parents would not agree to this situation.
However, both the pleading doctors and the invited experts shook their heads after discussing the condition. There is no way to treat this condition, except for an allogeneic heart transplant.
However, the conditions for allogeneic heart transplantation are very demanding. The heart does not require other organs and is an indispensable core life organ in the human body. Therefore, every heart means the departure of a donor, which is why heart transplantation is like this all over the world.
Cause of tension.
More importantly, it is not easy to find a matching heart source. The heart source is already tense, and it is even more difficult to find a matching heart. So Zhang Lei has been waiting for a year or two, and still has no idea.
No news.
But now Zhang Lei's physical condition is getting worse and worse, and he can no longer wait. If it were before, with Zhang Lei's current condition, the possibility of him surviving would have been very slim. Unless a miracle can happen in the end, and he suddenly has the heart to match.
Source. But this chance is very small. You must know that many patients across the country are waiting.
Generally, at this point, some families may have begun to give up. They may even begin to process discharge procedures for the patient, allowing the patient to go home and wait for the last moment.
Maybe God loves young and fresh lives especially. Just when Zhang Lei's family fell into endless despair and grief, a group of people found them and brought them a new hope.
Zhang Lei's family is surprised and happy about such a hope. They are surprised that there is such an opportunity and such a technical product. They are happy that their children finally have hope. Even though this hope seems a bit unbelievable, but
Regardless of this, as long as their child can survive.
Regardless of such technology, they are still deeply worried. After all, their child's heart must be cut out and replaced with an artificial heart. No one knows whether such an artificial heart is reliable or feasible.
Because this is only in the first phase of clinical trials, no one knows whether such an intelligent bionic artificial heart is reliable or whether such an alternative heart replacement surgery is feasible. Even doctors and legal personnel have given them
They talked about the worst possible outcome, which is that their child might not be able to walk off the operating table.
This is very cruel news. It is tantamount to telling them that the other party is doing experiments on their sons, and the experiments are very risky. If they agree, it will be a disguised form of sending their son to such an operation table with huge risks and unknown results.
, which is equivalent to sending their son to fight for his life in the gate of hell.
Once the operation fails, they will end their son's life themselves. Even though they are worried and unwilling, they all know that this is their last chance. If they agree, there may be a glimmer of hope.
If you agree, then you can only wait for death.
So after carefully soliciting Zhang Lei's personal wishes, they finally agreed. Then they were sent to the Linghu Business District Medical Center of Anxi Hospital Affiliated to the Air Force Medical College for a series of pre-operative preparations.
What reassured them was that they were not the first patients. Several patients had undergone surgeries before Zhang Lei, and the surgeries were successful. The post-operative recovery of these patients was very good.
They have seen several of these patients, which undoubtedly gives hope to all those who have not yet undergone surgery. It also makes the families of these patients, who were worried and resistant at the beginning, now become eager to look forward to it.
They all want to have surgery first.
Zhang Lei is relatively lucky, he is at the front of the queue. The expert group and technical research team believe that Zhang Lei's physical condition and condition can no longer afford it, and he must undergo surgery as soon as possible, otherwise he will miss the last chance for surgery.
Of course, there were several other patients competing with Zhang Lei. In the end, after Zhang Lei and others accepted follow-up interviews from CCTV reporters, he won as he wished and ranked at the front.
This is not a form of coercion, but a disguised form of compensation or reward. After all, accepting an interview will definitely have some impact.
