Although with everyone's joint efforts, the examination went well, the results were not so satisfactory. Sister Tao Zhengyang's condition is too serious. The entire heart has been severely deformed, and the heart function is very poor. In the words of the doctor, surgery is no longer possible.
Conditions have been met. To put it in crueler terms, it means that it is no longer worthwhile to perform this type of surgery. There is actually not much difference between having surgery and not having surgery.
Both Tao Zhengyang and his sister's family members found it difficult to accept such a result. It was hard to see hope, but they did not expect such a result.
The family strongly requested surgery, so Tao Zhengyang had no choice but to bite the bullet and find Wu Hao.
Wu Hao was actually very sorry for such a result, but he couldn't help but have a headache after hearing Tao Zhengyang's plea. To be honest, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, not to mention that the patient was not related to him, but he
It's not necessary. On the other hand, he doesn't want to get involved in the treatment, which is inappropriate. And if problems arise in the future, he is likely to get into trouble.
However, despite Tao Zhengyang's repeated requests, Wu Hao had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to the hospital.
Looking at the digital 3D model of Sister Tao Zhengyang's heart on the big screen, Wu Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly. With a heart like this, no wonder the doctor refused to perform surgery.
The entire heart is like a rotten peach, with a network of ferocious blood vessels everywhere, like the intricate rhizomes of an old tree. On these tight coronary arteries, the outline of the stent can still be vaguely seen.
In addition, the three bypass blood vessels were also obvious. This was the first time Wu Hao could see the appearance of the bypass blood vessels so intuitively.
Due to Wu Hao's face, Director Tong came to personally preside over this meeting today.
Seeing Wu Hao's expression, Director Tong said helplessly: "We have made it very clear to the patient's family that the patient's current heart function is very poor and he is no longer suitable for coronary artery replacement surgery. If not, the patient
Ha can persist for a few years, but if it is done, the patient may not be able to get off the operating table."
Hearing Director Tong's words, Wu Hao nodded slightly. Tao Zhengyang on the side quickly interjected: "As relatives, we really don't want to see our loved ones die slowly like this. This is unacceptable to anyone.
of.
Director Tong, I beg you again to think of a way to save my sister. She has never expected any blessings in her life. She only lived a good life for a few days when she was old. It is really a pity to leave like this."
"Doctors have a parent-like heart, and we feel the same as the family members, but in Yiyanyiyi, we are also talking about objective facts. Although medical technology is very advanced now, there are still some difficult and complicated diseases that we cannot overcome and solve." At this point.
, Director Tong couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing Director Tong's words, Wu Hao smiled slightly and said: "Director Tong, since the patient is so persistent and willing to take the risk, then tell me what treatment options you can try and let the family members listen.
Just listen, and then we'll see what their choice is."
After hearing what Wu Hao said, Director Tong could only nod his head and said: "Okay, then I will tell you.
According to the patient's current condition, there are actually only two options in front of her. The first is the overall heart transplant. The patient can choose a suitable donor for replacement, or she can choose Haoyu Technology's intelligent bionic artificial heart.
At present, the average life expectancy of patients undergoing donor heart replacement surgery can reach 12 to 13 years. This number is still very impressive. And if the patient's conditions permit, a second heart replacement surgery can also be performed. We have such a hospital in China
In the case of the patient, his life span has reached twenty-five years, which is a very ideal number.
Of course, donor hearts are in very short supply. We know this. It is very difficult to match a suitable one. It takes time and luck.
Based on the patient's current condition, we are not sure whether she can be caught up.
The second one is to replace Mr. Wu’s intelligent bionic artificial heart. Although this heart is not yet on the market, we have saved the lives of nearly a thousand patients in the third phase of clinical trials.
The postoperative recovery of these patients is good, and the quality of life of many patients is very high, no different from ordinary people.
Even one of our patients who was implanted with a smart bionic artificial heart successfully climbed Mount Everest without oxygen assistance, creating a miracle of life.
However, because it is still in the clinical trial stage and the heart has been out for a relatively short time, we cannot guarantee what will happen to it in the future.
The theoretical design life of this smart bionic artificial heart is about twenty to thirty years. Of course, this is only the theoretical design life. We don’t know how long its specific life is.
Secondly, because it is an artificial heart, it may also have problems, which will affect its normal operation and bring danger to the patient. Therefore, if you choose it, both the patient and the patient's family must be mentally prepared.
Furthermore, although it has not been confirmed yet, some studies have shown that the heart is also an important emotional organ for us. Therefore, after the artificial heart is replaced, the patient's personality and behavioral habits may change. For this, patients and their families must also be mentally prepared.
The final implantation of the artificial heart does not mean that everything will be fine. It also requires market management and maintenance, such as charging the battery on time, always paying attention to the battery power and the operating status of the heart, etc.
Although we have a protective mechanism in place, if the patient and family members are not careful, it may cause the battery to run out. Once the battery of the artificial heart is exhausted, the entire artificial heart will stop working, and the patient may directly lose his life.
"
Hearing what Director Tong said was so serious, Tao Zhengyang, his brother-in-law, nephews and nieces all couldn't help showing expressions of fear and worry.
Tao Zhengyang glanced at a few people, and then asked Director Tong: "Is there no other way but to change your mind?"
Hearing Tao Zhengyang's question, Director Tong sighed and said: "There is another way, and that is to carry out conservative treatment.
We use bio-3D printing technology to print out some patients' coronary blood vessels, then perform thoracotomy on the patient, remove the blood vessels from the original bypass surgery, and then re-implant these printed coronary blood vessels into the patient, and during the operation
Using a guide wire to unblock the patient's coronary blood vessels again can improve the patient's myocardial blood supply and alleviate the patient's condition to a certain extent.
Of course, the risks of this kind of surgery are relatively high, and judging from the patient's current situation, even if the surgery is completed, the patient's heart function will not be able to recover well. Of course, there may also be a certain degree of recovery.
, maybe it’s not impossible to create a miracle of life.”
In the end, Director Tong gave Tao Zhengyang and the patient's family some hope so that they would not despair, and then said: "This is just the relevant advice we give from a doctor's perspective. How to choose depends on the family and the patient's family."
