Upon hearing this, the doctors from Fuwai Hospital present were immediately in an uproar, all showing expressions of confusion and bewilderment.

A senior chief physician with gray hair stepped forward.

He frowned and spoke with a questioning tone: "Dr. Fu, how can we do this without open-heart surgery? The patient's coronary arteries are severely blocked, and conservative medication is simply not able to control the condition. He could have a heart attack and die suddenly at any time!"

"Our Fuwai Hospital is considered one of the top cardiology departments in China, but for this kind of severe coronary heart disease, we can only perform open-heart bypass surgery."

Open chest surgery, establish extracorporeal circulation, and re-establish vascular access.

This is the only way at present; without opening the chest, there is no way to clear the blocked blood vessels!

The attending physician quickly chimed in, his tone urgent: "Dr. Fu, I did see a new method for coronary artery balloon dilation in a foreign medical journal before."

"But that's just theoretical research abroad; we don't even have the equipment in China!"

Specialized balloon catheters and angiography guidewires are unavailable. Moreover, the national approval process for these items is extremely rigorous; they simply cannot be approved. Even if we could obtain them, no doctor in China would know how to operate them!

The doctors present nodded in agreement, their faces full of confusion.

In their understanding, it is impossible to treat such a serious coronary heart disease without opening the chest.

Opening the chest is also a near-death experience; in short...

Having this disease and going to the operating table is like risking your life.

Fu Hua glanced at everyone and explained clearly, "The patient is young, and the coronary artery blockage is an acute exacerbation. Open-heart bypass surgery would be too invasive and completely unnecessary."

"What I'm going to do is a minimally invasive coronary angioplasty, which doesn't require open-chest surgery; it only requires puncture through a blood vessel in the wrist or groin."

By inserting a specialized balloon catheter to the location of the coronary artery blockage and dilating the balloon to clear the blockage, symptoms can be quickly relieved.

"I've already handled a similar case at Anzhen Clinic, and it was a successful clinical trial."

"Dr. Fu,"

One doctor stepped forward and said, "What are you talking about, coronary artery sac? We've never even heard of that surgery, let alone performed it!"

The key issue is that our hospital doesn't have dedicated balloon catheters or angiography guidewires. Even if you have the skills, you can't cook without ingredients!

"Don't worry about the equipment, I'll take care of it."

Fu Hua said confidently, "I have already modified and adapted the interventional catheters and balloon consumables to suit the existing medical conditions in China."

Her balloon catheter fully meets current operating room equipment standards and does not rely on imported foreign instruments.

Without using complex, high-end equipment, the hospital's existing angiography machine can accurately locate the coronary artery blockage.

The entire dilation surgery can be completed in ten minutes.

She paused, then continued, "Not only for acute coronary heart disease attacks, but also for sudden acute myocardial infarction, this minimally invasive procedure can clear the blood vessels."

The rescue efficiency is more than ten times higher than that of traditional open-chest surgery.

The surgical procedure is minimally invasive, and the risks can be minimized.

Patients can get out of bed and move around the day after surgery, and their recovery speed is much faster than open-chest bypass surgery.

Chen Zhe has been discharged from the hospital.

After speaking, she turned to look at Shen Jingshan.

With a determined look in his eyes: "This is the surgical plan—minimally invasive, low-risk, and with a quick recovery—but this is only the second case in the country."

Now, it all depends on whether you, Professor Shen, agree to perform this surgery.

"If I don't agree, will you still perform open-heart surgery on this child?"

Shen Jingshan asked.

"I can."

Fu Hua said, "I am 99% confident in performing open-heart surgery, and I am also 90% confident in performing coronary balloon surgery, which will result in less trauma."

Shen Jingshan's expression shifted slightly after hearing this.

Looking at his weak grandson on the ground, he pondered for a moment.

Previously, Fu Hua had reminded him, and with Aunt Lan's surgery, he now trusted Fu Hua completely.

He looked up, his gaze resolute, his voice booming: "I agree to the coronary balloon procedure you mentioned. I trust you, Dr. Fu!"

"Go ahead and do it. Whatever the consequences, I, Shen Jingshan, will bear them all. It has nothing to do with you!"

A nurse immediately brought over the informed consent form for the surgery.

Shen Jingshan picked up the pen, his hand trembling as he signed his name and pressed his fingerprint on it.

"Senior, could you please go to my car and get the black medical kit from the passenger seat? Quickly!"

Fu Hua immediately gave the order.

"good!"

Lu Tingxiao responded and turned to run wildly out of the hospital at an extremely fast speed.

Fu Hua turned to the attending physician and said decisively, "Prepare the operating room immediately, start the angiography machine, arrange the sterile instruments and puncture kits needed for the minimally invasive interventional surgery, and have all medical staff stand by to assist me in the surgery!"

"yes!"

The attending physician didn't dare hesitate for a moment and immediately turned around to make arrangements.

The entire medical and nursing system of Fuwai Hospital sprang into action instantly.

Only then did the health bureau leaders and Dean Li realize what Fu Hua was about to do.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and displeasure in each other's eyes.

Dean Li immediately stepped forward and stopped Fu Hua, who was about to enter the operating room.

His face was grim, and his tone was accusatory: "Dr. Fu, you're being ridiculous!"

The coronary balloon angioplasty procedure you mentioned has never been performed in China, and there are no clinical cases of it.

Do you have surgical approval and registration from the National Health Commission?

Even the specialized equipment was modified by yourself, without undergoing formal quality inspection or obtaining approval for clinical use?

If you rashly perform surgery on a patient and something goes wrong, who will be responsible?

This violates medical procedures and constitutes a serious medical malpractice violation. We at Fuwai Hospital absolutely cannot agree to this!

His first thought was about the responsibility and consequences.

A leader from the health bureau stepped forward, his expression serious.

"Comrade Fu, I know you have superb medical skills. You truly saved a life during the aortic dissection surgery just now."

"But medical procedures have strict rules and regulations; you can't just do whatever you want based on your medical skills!"

"First, the minimally invasive procedure you proposed is a completely new technology in China. It has not undergone academic validation or clinical ethics approval, and its direct use on patients is strictly prohibited."

"Secondly, the medical consumables you modified yourself did not pass the quality inspection and registration of the National Medical Products Administration, and are therefore non-compliant devices, prohibited from use in clinical surgery."

"Third, you performed a completely new, unapproved surgery at Fuwai Hospital without formal approval from the hospital or the health department; the procedure was entirely illegal!"

"As the health regulatory department, we must stop your illegal behavior. If something goes wrong, not only you, but the entire Fuwai Hospital and all those in charge present will bear serious responsibility, and it may even affect the order of the entire medical industry in Beijing!"

The two women worked together, their attitudes firm, to block Fu Hua from entering the operating room.

Seeing this, Instructor Shi immediately stepped forward as well.

As a senior expert in the medical industry and the leader of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he naturally exudes authority.

"Fu Hua, you are too young and too impulsive. When I participated in academic exchanges abroad, I also learned about coronary balloon angioplasty technology."
