A genius is a genius, but the problem with medical geniuses is that unlike math geniuses, hands-on operations require prior learning somewhere. Song Xuelingâs movements are extremely skilled, so he must have learned interventional procedures from some expert beforehand.
Jin Tianyu is equally perplexed: Beiduâs interventional surgery? Never heard of any particularly outstanding ones.
Nationwide, the most formidable in interventional procedures is first and foremost Guo Zhi Hospital. If we talk about neurointervention, weâd recommend Fang Ze. Guoxie isnât in the same league, and Beidu is even less so. Beiduâs reputation in intervention isnât much better than Guoxieâs; itâs like the pot calling the kettle black.
Why not ask those in neurosurgery themselves? Thinking this, Jin Tianyu glanced at Cao Yong, Deputy Director Lv, and the others.
Cao Yong wouldnât say a word.
Deputy Director Lv coughed twice to clear his throat, seemingly suppressing his nervousness. Song Xuelingâs performance was equally beyond his expectations, leaving him somewhat dumbfounded.
Previously, in front of Zhai Yunsheng, he claimed that Guoxie could perform interventions, but itâs only just able to; he hadnât boasted.
How could this person from Beidu perform interventions? Deputy Director Lvâs mind was a total blank.
Zhai Yunsheng had both hands in the pockets of his white coat, the contemplative gaze in the corner of his eye skimming over the face of his nephew beside him.
Who taught him? Beidu couldnât have taught him, nor could he have gone to other hospitals to learn; the answer could only be that he learned here at Guoxie.
The most suitable people to teach geniuses are geniuses themselves, picking things up instantly. No wonder the legendary genius from Beidu was drawn to his nephew. His nephew almost became a cardiothoracic surgeon back then, had studied intensively at Guo Zhi Hospital, and learned various techniques there exceptionally well.
Many basic steps of interventional surgery are significantly similar. If the guiding catheter enters the femoral artery smoothly, it can quickly reach the patientâs lesion area along an accurate circulatory roadmap.
In todayâs patient, what needs examination is the cerebral vasculature, so the guiding catheter at least needs to reach the internal carotid artery or vertebral artery, anatomically leveled at the C2 vertebra.
Fearing that this genius junior might get too carried away, Huang Zhilei reminded from time to time, "Take a shot!"
Senior Brother Huang was a bit overly worried. Xie Wanying thought that with Doctor Songâs technical level, reaching the designated position in one go wasnât difficult. Her eyes wandered over to Senior Brother Cao beside her. Unlike Senior Brother Huang, Senior Brother Cao remained silent.
Song Xueling naturally followed Cao Yongâs instructions first. Until reaching the specified point, then he took an X-ray.
X-ray monitoring, verification, no mistakes.
A group of young cardiologists were disheartened again: around the same age, or even younger than them, doing much better than they could, the blow was quite considerable.
Actually, itâs too soon to come to a conclusion. Getting this far in interventional surgery is just the first step, not even a challenging one; itâs just passing the basic entry-level threshold.
Outside his surgical mask, Song Xuelingâs refined features showed no sign of relaxation, unlike the concern of Huang Zhilei worried about him getting carried away.
Huang Zhilei verified further that this junior hadnât relaxed, approvingly turning around to instruct the nurse to place the prepared items onto the surgical instrument tray.
Once the catheter reaches the designated position, it needs to be connected to devices for examination and treatment, a step that varies with each interventional surgery and depends on the patientâs specific condition and surgical plan.
Items connected in todayâs neurointerventional surgery seemed more than in cardiovascular interventional procedures.
The cardiologists in the control room, like Lin Chenrong mentioned, hadnât witnessed many neurointerventional surgeries.
