The two little hearts, which looked ugly and had different shapes, swelled and shrank feebly in Yu Zhiming's mind...
Yu Zhiming examined the beating of the abnormal heart in his mind for two or three minutes before his eyes slowly focused and he could clearly see the four-dimensional color picture on the phone screen again.
After confirming that the image in his mind could no longer be accurate, he handed the phone back to Dr. Luo Yu.
"The amount of information provided by this four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound is a bit small, not enough for me to draw a detailed perspective view of the heart, let alone the blood flow information of the coronary arteries."
"but……"
Yu Zhiming expressed his judgment and said: "This heart malformation is quite serious. How difficult is it to correct it with surgery?"
Luo Yu sighed softly and said: "The deformity is too great and the child is too young. I didn't want to take over the job, but I was asked to do it by a senior brother with whom I have a very good relationship."
"He said that he was powerless and that I was the only one who could save these two children."
Yu Zhiming thought about the fact that these were two children who were less than a month old, and asked with concern: "Then, how sure are you?"
Luo Yu met Yu Zhiming's gaze and said frankly: "As far as the degree of heart malformation and physical condition of these two children, even with your help, I can only be 10 to 20 percent sure at most."
"Only one or two percent?" Yu Zhiming frowned.
The success rate of 10% to 20% is not much different from gambling on life. There is a high probability that both people and money will be lost.
Luo Yu sighed again and said, "So, I don't want to take over. The success rate is too low."
"My senior brother said that I still have at least a 10 to 20 percent chance, but he is not even the slightest bit sure."
Yu Zhiming made a soft sound and said: "The hope of 10% or 20% is also hope. After all, we are two lives. If you have the opportunity, you should try to win."
He then asked: "Should we operate as soon as possible? Or should we wait a little longer?"
Luo Yu explained: "I can persist for another month or two and let the child grow a little bigger and stronger."
"Any longer, the heart problems of the two children may worsen."
Yu Zhiming pondered and said: "Then one week before the operation, I will give them a heart checkup? The development speed of such a small child is not slow."
He asked again: "Parents of the child, what do you think?"
"These two children persisted for a month or two and had surgery. The cost is estimated to be one million."
"There is still such a low chance of success!"
"Even if the operation is lucky and successful..."
Yu Zhiming examined the two malformed hearts again in his mind and said: "Such a serious heart malformation, the degree of surgical correction must be limited. Can the heart function be restored to 50 to 60% of a normal heart?"
"No matter how intensively the child is raised, the child will definitely grow up alone, and the cost of training is also huge."
If these two children are lucky enough to have successful surgeries, they will be real gold-eating beasts.
Without a relatively deep family background or strong earning power, it is inevitable that the family will be brought down.
Because of his own experience, Yu Zhiming deeply understands the importance of money.
Some people turn minor illnesses into serious ones, and some seriously ill patients simply give up treatment, all because of money.
Also, Yu Zhiming disagrees with the fact that some seriously ill patients have exhausted their entire family savings and even taken on huge debts in order to live a few more months or two.
Of course, this is the choice of the patient and his family. Yu Zhiming only provides medical advice and does not interfere with other aspects.
Luo Yu said: "The child's family runs a small factory and is said to have an annual income of nearly one million."
"My senior brother also introduced the child's possible postoperative conditions in detail to the child's parents. They made it clear that they wanted to give it a try. They said they were lucky and it would be good to save one of them."
"Save one?" Yu Zhiming repeated.
Luo Yu also thought that Yu Zhiming was not satisfied with saving only one person, so he explained: "Dr. Yu, I know you are a medical genius and have repeatedly made the impossible possible."
"But for heart deformity correction surgery, one is one and two is two. I am only 20% sure at most."
The next moment, he said confidently: "There must be someone better than me in the field of cardiac deformity correction, but I am certain that that person's success rate will not exceed 30%."
"You are lucky enough to be able to save one."
When Luo Yu said this, he noticed that Yu Zhiming's eyes were a little blurry, as if he was wandering in the sky.
"Doctor Yu...Doctor Yu..."
Luo Yu called softly several times in succession, but did not see any response from Yu Zhiming. He knew that this guy was deep in thought.
Is this...a sudden gain?
Luo Yu was excited and became looking forward to it...
At this moment, in Yu Zhiming's mind, the two hearts, which looked different but were equally ugly, had been divided into several parts and were being rearranged.
Luo Yu's statement of "rescuing one" suddenly gave Yu Zhiming a bold idea.
The two hearts of identical twins had different cardiac malformations. One ventricular malformation was more severe, and one atrial malformation was more severe.
What if two deformed hearts are chosen to make a relatively fully functional heart?
Of course, this patchwork is not a simple arrangement and combination. The heart function must be considered, and the difficulty of the operation must also be considered...
After repeated measurements and simulations, Yu Zhiming finally made a patchwork surgical plan in his mind based on his superficial understanding of the two malformed hearts.
He shifted his attention out of his mind, and as soon as he moved, an urgent voice sounded in his ears.
"Doctor Yu, you have made a major discovery, haven't you?"
Yu Zhiming's eyes focused on Luo Yu in front of him, and he saw a look of expectation on his face.
He did not respond directly, but asked Qing Ning who was accompanying him to bring paper and pen.
Under the watchful eyes of Luo Yu and Qing Ning, Yu Zhiming drew two structural perspective views of the deformed heart on paper.
Then, he drew several dividing curves on the perspective view of the heart.
After the drawing was completed, Yu Zhiming pointed at the drawing and explained: "Doctor Luo, look..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This...this of this heart, and this, plus this...this of this heart, piece it together to form a reasonably healthy heart."
"Do you think it's feasible?"
"Piece it together?" Luo Yu was surprised, couldn't help but reach out and pick up the drawings, and began to ponder.
Yu Zhiming said with excitement: "These two children are identical twins. There is no rejection reaction in the body. The two hearts are pieced together into one heart. There is no problem."
"Because the information is not accurate enough, my patchwork surgery plan, according to my calculations, can reach 80-90% of normal people's heart function."
"This heart function is enough for this child to grow up healthily, and it is not a medical condition with a sallow complexion and skinny muscles."
Yu Zhiming said it happily, but found that Luo Yu did not give the expected response of applause.
Seeing that Luo Yu's face was deep in thought, Yu Zhiming's excitement quickly dissipated.
"Dr. Luo, isn't my surgical plan feasible?"
Luo Yu pondered and said slowly: "Dr. Yu, the difficulty of your patchwork operation must be greater than that of a heart transplant."
"Compared to the correction of cardiac malformations that I expected..."
He thought for a moment and said, "If you put it together like this, the operation will be even more difficult."
"Of course, everything went well. As you said, the cardiac function after surgery can indeed be improved a lot compared to simple corrective surgery."
"only……"
Luo Yu said again with a worried look on his face: "This patchwork heart surgery will cause too much trauma to the heart. It's hard to say whether it can successfully resume beating. It's hard to say."
He noticed that Yu Zhiming's expression was a little ugly, and then said: "Of course, your surgical plan design is a unique and innovative move. It is necessary to conduct in-depth research on the feasibility."
Luo Yu smiled and praised again: "Dr. Yu, you are indeed a medical genius. You are unimaginable and think of things that others have never thought of."
Yu Zhiming said unhappily: "Doctor Luo, you don't have to praise me, I can hear it..."
"You are not optimistic about my patchwork surgery plan at all and think it is unrealistic."
Luo Yu smiled and explained: "Dr. Yu, it's not that I'm not optimistic about it, it's just that piecing these two hearts together into one will involve the suturing of a large number of coronary blood vessels."
"This myocardium is highly sensitive to hypoxia, so it is necessary to suture the large and small coronary vessels as much as possible during the operation. Otherwise, a slight mistake will lead to local myocardial ischemia and necrosis, which will lead to the failure of the operation."
Luo Yu once again set his sights on the drawings drawn by Yu Zhiming and said slowly: "Objectively speaking, although the operation is not easy, I must admit that there is still a possibility of success."
Yu Zhiming could hear the other party's disapproval and said, "I personally feel that the success rate of this patchwork surgery should be higher than 10 to 20%, right?"
Luo Yu couldn't help but remind him: "If nothing else, you are doomed to give up a child by cobbling together a surgical plan."
Yu Zhiming retorted: "Although you take the initiative to give up one, your 10% to 20% chance is not much different from giving up two."
"The important thing is that once my surgical plan is successful, the baby will be healthy."
Luo Yu smiled softly, stood up with the drawing and said, "Dr. Yu, I will take this drawing back and think about it carefully."
"Also talk with some medical seniors..."
After seeing Luo Yu off, Yu Zhiming returned to the living room, picked up paper and pen again, and drew a structural perspective diagram of the malformed heart.
In the past, when faced with difficult problems that troubled everyone, the solutions he came up with in a flash always won approval with surprise and joy, and the results also proved that his solution was correct.
But this time, he was unexpectedly not recognized by Luo Yu, which made Yu Zhiming a little unconvinced.
He decided to refine the patchwork surgery plan and ask other heart experts for their opinions...
People who work hard are the most attractive.
When Qing Ning saw Yu Zhiming devoted himself selflessly to medical work, instead of getting angry, she held her chin and admired it with love...
