Although Jim Basa kept his face, he was very anxious and anxious at the time, but after reporting it for so long, there was no news at all.
Now Steven is getting more and more dangerous. He had no symptoms before, but now he has started to have headaches, dizziness, and a feeling of suffocation due to lack of oxygen.
The biggest problem is that everyone is helpless and can only watch and worry.
Susan is just a general practitioner with excellent skills. Being able to complete whole-brain DSA is already very good. She cannot make other better treatment measures, and the medical conditions on the space station do not allow for further treatment.
The top doctors in the United States are here, but Dr. Massimo, the best interventionalist, can't do anything.
Even if we send Massimo to the space station now, it will not help, and using remote surgical equipment will not be much better.
Massimo's theoretical success rate on Earth is only 20%. After filtering through many factors, the remaining hope is very slim. Otherwise, Massimo would have started taking action long ago.
"No need to wait, activate the rescue plan, connect the telemedicine equipment, I want to perform interventional surgery." Massimo suddenly decided that even if there was no hope, he would take the risk. It was better than sitting still and waiting for death. He would not believe the Chinese at all.
He could solve the crisis, but he was powerless, so he had no choice but to believe in Johannessen.
Now that the matter has been reported for so long and there is no news, it is impossible for everyone to watch Steven's condition worsen.
"No, you can't complete the operation at all. This is a small artery that passes through the life center of the brainstem. You have no successful precedent at present. Acting rashly is tantamount to detonating a bomb in advance. We have to wait for Dr. Yang." Johannesson stopped him seriously.<
/p>
Massimo said seriously: "The Dr. Yang you are waiting for, I have never heard of his achievements in craniocerebral diseases. I don't know where you get the confidence. The most important thing in evidence-based medicine is evidence, evidence! Do you understand?
?I can tell you responsibly that half of the world's top interventional doctors have received training from me. I just asked Johns Hopkins to check and there is no Yang Ping in my training list."<
/p>
Johannesson could only sneer at Massimo's attitude: "He doesn't need your training at all, he can train you, and I can also tell you responsibly that he is my teacher. I saw him perform surgery with my own eyes.
I am the evidence. I also confirmed with him. He replied that he is proficient in interventional surgery. This operation is not a problem for him. Moreover, he suggested using drug-loaded microspheres for embolization to avoid the coil migration caused by high-speed falling after returning to Earth.
bit."
"Are you sure? Can he say that he is sure about this kind of surgery? Or should he use drug-loaded microspheres? Do you know how difficult it is to deliver drug-loaded microspheres to this site?" Massimo also sneered.
The two of them insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in to each other.
The stubborn, conservative and arrogant Massimo's performance in the interventional department was so dazzling that he did not believe that Yang Ping could be better than him.
"Wait a minute, don't worry, the White House should make a decision soon. They will use all resources to complete the rescue. Believe me, maybe they are coordinating!" Jim Bartha intervened to resolve the sharp confrontation between the two.
Jim Bartha believes in Johannesson's words more. It's not who's words are more credible, but Johannessen's plan is theoretically more reliable. Taking action without the slightest certainty is tantamount to detonating a bomb in advance.
Johnathan is Mayo's top neurosurgeon. At this moment, Steven's condition affects the nerves of all Americans. If he recommends someone who is not sure, it is tantamount to offending the entire American people. It is unnecessary and completely unnecessary.
Necessary.
"I can try to perform embolization on the upstream trunk of the hemangioma, which can alleviate the condition." Massimo still insisted.
Johannessen still stopped: "No, embolism is irreversible. Once the main trunk is embolized, the risk of bleeding still exists, and it brings new problems of ischemic infarction. Ischemic infarction in this part can also cause death. Even if you are lucky, you can avoid it."
After a catastrophe, Steven will become a useless person."
"This can save his life." Massimo argued with reason.
Johannesson responded tit for tat: "This is your compromise plan. In front of Dr. Yang, there will be a better plan to let him survive and live a normal life."
"Just wait and see how your teacher handles it." Massimo was still angry.
Johannesson disagreed: "We'll see---"

On the International Space Station, Steven is connecting with his wife.
"I'm sorry, dear, I can't go home as scheduled. Tell Lin Keer that the photo has been sent to her email and I will sign it for her when I come back." Steven said regretfully.
"I saw the news, come on! You must be fine. They said there is a Chinese doctor who can help you. He has done more difficult operations than you." Her wife was already crying.
"I know, Susan told me."
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy and I don't feel like I'm using enough oxygen. Everything else is fine. Don't worry, God won't give up on me."
"We are waiting for you to come back. Linkel has learned how to make fruit salad."
"Let her fill the refrigerator and wait for me to come back."
The video connection was closed, and Steven knew that he had stepped into the gate of hell.
"Susan, tell me, what is the success rate of the operation?" Steven asked Susan again.
Susan didn't know how many times she repeated the question, but she couldn't deceive him every time: "Professor Massimo, the best interventional doctor in the United States, theoretically 20%, if he uses a remote hand device, no one knows
What is the success rate? The Chinese doctor Dr. Yang Ping recommended by Professor Johannessen has a higher success rate. They are contacting Dr. Yang and he will come to Houston soon."
"Oh, God, I want to go back, I have to go back."
"You can definitely go back!"
"The Russians asked if they needed help? For example, medicine." David Hawley was talking to the Russian cabin.
"No need at the moment, thank you." Now that I have controlled blood pressure reduction, there is no way to carry out any treatment.
Outside the window, the huge blue planet is out of reach at this time.
The fear of being 400 kilometers away from the earth is like a baby leaving its mother's arms. That kind of isolation and helplessness makes people very irritable and uneasy.
In order to load the intracranial blood flow, Susan is going to cool Steven with an ice cap. The cooling system on the International Space Station was originally used for experiments and storing biological samples, but is now used to make ice caps.
On the basis of controlled blood pressure reduction, the ice cap is then assisted to reduce the speed and flow of Steven's intracranial blood flow to reduce the impact on the hemangioma wall and allow it to persist longer.

"Where are we?" Yang Ping looked at the scenery outside the window.
"We just left Alaska, and now we have to fly over the North Pole and fly in the polar regions." Mr. Cheng was shuffling a deck of playing cards.
Lunch was almost digested, and the three of them discussed playing Landlord and relaxing.
Just as the cards were dealt, the landlord, Lao Cheng, was about to start playing cards when a stewardess came in.
"Excuse me, who is Dr. Yang Ping?" the beautiful American stewardess came in and asked.
Hearing the voice of the stewardess, Lao Cheng was very lucky. It was a pity that the card was invalid. Huang Jiacai wanted to take the card, but Lao Cheng was unwilling.
Seeing Yang Ping raise her hand, the stewardess said: "Hello, Dr. Yang, we have received notification from United Airlines that a medical emergency has occurred on the International Space Station. Professor Johannesson of the Mayo Clinic and Houston medical experts have requested Dr. Yang's support. If Dr. Yang
Agree to support, our plane will return immediately and make an emergency landing at Fairbanks Airport in Alaska. After you get off the plane, a US special plane will take you to Houston." The stewardess's Chinese is good.
Yang Ping and Johannesson have been communicating on WeChat and have a relatively good understanding of Steven's condition, but they didn't expect that they would ask him to help deal with the crisis.
People's lives are at stake, and Yang Ping can't think that much. Why should he disagree with saving people?
Johannesson also sent an invitation on WeChat, and the flight attendant on the plane should have conveyed an invitation from NASA.
"Then send me to Houston quickly without wasting time." Yang Ping agreed.
He sent a WeChat message to Director Han to report the matter, and Director Han told him to deal with the matter with peace of mind. Everything was fine with Corey.
Mr. Huang and Lao Cheng are also a little confused. They just flew out of Alaska and now they have to fly back again. It's like acting in a movie.
"Dr. Yang has something big to do, so put this card away and stop playing." Mr. Huang wanted to collect the card.
Lao Cheng had no choice but to give up: "I had better luck just now. I wanted to win against you. Now I have to return."
"After the emergency landing, I will go to Houston. You guys can go back as planned." Yang Ping asked the flight attendant. The plane made an emergency landing and put him down. It will continue to take off in fifteen minutes and complete the original route mission.
Boss Cheng said: "That's not possible. How can we let a person go to Houston? We will go with him. We can't help you. Let's help the head office to fill the bag with water."
"If you have several people to take care of you, let's go with you." Huang Jiacai didn't want to go back alone.
Yang Ping thought for a while: "Then let's go to Houston together later and pack our luggage."
Lao Cheng got up and packed his backpack, pointed out the window and said:
"Look, what's going on?"
As far as the field of vision can be seen, a fighter plane can be seen, and there is also one outside the window on the other side.
The fighter planes roared past, kept flying for about a minute, and then dispersed immediately.
The passengers in the cabin who saw the fighter plane all panicked and started talking about what was going on and why they were caught in the fighter plane.
"Passengers, don't panic. This is the plane escorted by the Elmendorf Air Force Base in the United States. Because there is a special passenger on the plane who needs to get off the plane midway to perform an emergency mission, so we have to fly to Fairbanks, Alaska.
Emergency landing at the airport, please don't be nervous, don't move around, stay for fifteen minutes after landing, we will take off to complete the flight, we apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone." A gentle voice sounded on the radio, using a few words respectively.
languages.
"Emergency landing is complicated over the polar regions, so they provided us with navigation and escort." The stewardess explained to Yang Ping.
"I thought the plane was hijacked?" Lao Cheng broke into a sweat.
Anything can happen these days. Lao Cheng wiped his sweat, took a sip of juice to calm down his shock, and started packing his luggage.
