Falling behind at the start, the first surgery shocked the world.

Coronary stent surgery is not a major operation and the process is short, taking about half an hour. The patient undergoes the procedure under local anesthesia.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Xia. During the surgery, I will insert a catheter into your body through your radial artery. The procedure will be under local anesthesia. Please do not move during the surgery."

"Don't worry, stent surgery is a very minor procedure."

"It won't take long, so general anesthesia isn't necessary."

"If you can't control it and keep shaking, we'll have to give you general anesthesia, which will have some side effects on your body."

"So, I need you to stay still."

"Is it possible?"

During surgery under local anesthesia, the patient remains conscious and can move throughout the procedure. However, if the patient moves around arbitrarily, it can have serious consequences.

"I see."

The patient nodded.

The patient was 32 years old, a very strong man, and the fact that he suffered a heart attack at such a young age was a huge blow to him.

But a tough guy won't be defeated so easily.

"I understand, Dr. Xia."

"Don't worry, I won't move."

It's so convenient to communicate with a muscular man.

After calming the patient down.

The coronary stent surgery is underway.

Step 1: Administer an anesthetic injection into the radial artery.

The radial artery is located at the wrist; the legendary wrist-cutting refers to severing the radial artery.

1 minute later.

The anesthetic took effect.

Step 2: Inject contrast agent into the radial artery.

Contrast agents are chemical products injected into human tissues and organs to enhance the observation effect. Once the contrast agent is injected, it will clearly show which blood vessel is blocked, and a stent can be placed at the site of the blockage.

After the contrast agent is inserted.

On the screen, a blood vessel was first shown to be blocked about ten centimeters from the left atrium.

The location of the blockage has been identified.

Proceed to the third step.

The radial artery in an adult is 2.5-2.6 mm in diameter. A 2 mm balloon is inserted into the blood vessel, and the local area is gradually expanded. The movement must be slow and steady. If the artery is punctured, it will cause massive bleeding or even shock to the patient.

It took Xia Tian a full twenty minutes to cover a distance of just over ten centimeters.

We've just reached the congestion point.

The blockage is widened using a balloon.

The image clearly shows that the previously blocked blood vessels were instantly cleared after dilation.

Once complete fusion is achieved, a stent is inserted.

Remove the catheter and guidewire.

The radial artery was compressed to stop the bleeding, two stitches were placed, and then a bandage was applied.

The whole process took only 25 minutes.

Summer walked up to the patient and said to him.

"The surgery is over and it was very successful."

"We're sending you to the ICU now. You'll be able to get out of bed and walk around in two days. While you're in the ICU, you can ask the nurses if you feel any discomfort."

The muscular man nodded.

He said thank you to Xia Tian in a hoarse voice.

"Thank you, Dr. Xia."

"You're welcome. After you recover, you shouldn't do strenuous exercise anymore. Practicing Tai Chi is just as good for your health."

After comforting the patient for a while, Xia Tian left the operating room.

The muscular man's wife was waiting outside the door.

Upon seeing Xia Tian come out, they immediately went to greet her.

"How is Dr. Xia?"

Xia Tian smiled and said, "The surgery was very successful. The patient has been sent to the ICU for 24 hours of observation before being transferred to a regular ward. Don't worry, heart stenting is a minor surgery and will not have a significant impact on him."

My wife's eyes were red, and her cheeks were a little swollen.

Xia Tian glanced at it and frowned.

"Is your face swollen?"

The wife quickly turned her head to the side and casually offered an explanation.

I accidentally fell and hit my face.

Will you hit your face if you fall?

If you're going to confuse me, at least come up with a better reason... I feel like my IQ is being insulted!

"Where are the patient's parents?"

I glanced around and saw only the patient's wife waiting; I didn't see the elderly couple.

His wife wiped away her tears and said.

"I told them I had signed the surgery agreement, and they got angry and left."

(⊙o⊙)...

Besides arguing, you also slapped her, right?

As a wife, she has the right to make decisions for her husband, but many in-laws do not respect their wives and consider them outsiders. All sorts of arguments can be seen in the emergency room.

Xia Tian comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, he'll be able to move to a regular ward tomorrow."

"Don't worry too much."

……

8 PM.

Ge Xuan sent a message: "This is the 11th time I've bumped into Dr. Han today. Before, she would just smile and say hello, but today she stopped and chatted with me and asked me about my situation."

"Hehe, Director Zhang, I suspect she might like me."

Zhang Ming, who was lounging on the sofa, felt a pang of sadness upon seeing this message...

Zhang Ming: "Does she really like you?"

Ge Xuan: "I don't know either, but when she was chatting with me just now, she seemed very interested in me and even asked me about my family. She probably... likes me."
