Chapter 529: Heart Transplant (Please Subscribe)


The intensive care unit of the University Affiliated Hospital!

Lin Jie quietly watched, feeling an indescribable emotion in his heart, as You Huangjie lay on the hospital bed, sustained by a ventilator.

"Around nine o'clock in the evening, this person suddenly collapsed in the emergency hall. While resuscitating him, the emergency doctor found an organ donation agreement and a farewell letter on him!"

Vice Director Zheng, who was on duty that night, sighed and said, "Now, Mr. You is in a state of brain death. We have conducted a detailed examination on him and found no infectious diseases that would affect organ transplantation."

"Except for some issues with the lungs, which cannot be used for transplantation, Mr. You's heart, kidneys, liver, corneas, and several other organs can be used for transplantation."

"After matching on the online organ matching network, there are a total of fourteen patients nationwide who can accept his organ transplants."

Vice Director Zheng further explained, "After a night of preparation and coordination, Mr. You's organs will be removed at nine tomorrow morning and transported to the patients in need by air, high-speed rail, and other methods as quickly as possible."

Lin Jie, moved by the situation, nodded and said, "Saving fourteen people, Mr. You has fulfilled his wish, I suppose."

He then inquired, "Which city is the patient suitable for the heart match in? I promised him that I would personally perform this surgery."

"Mr. You also mentioned this in his farewell letter!"

Vice Director Zheng clapped his hands lightly and said, "Coincidentally, the patient suitable for the heart match is in Donghua Hospital. I have already coordinated with the other party, and the heart transplant patient will be transferred to our hospital before eight tomorrow."

"Oh, please send the patient's case file to my work email."

"Let's schedule the surgery for around ten tomorrow morning..."

Lin Jie gave some instructions related to the surgery and returned to his office in the hospital.

Tonight, he planned to spend the night here and wouldn't go home.

He turned on his computer, opened the email he had just received, and started reviewing the case history of the heart transplant patient from the attachment.

It was a twelve-year-old boy suffering from congestive heart failure due to valvular heart disease. He had been waiting at Donghua Hospital for nearly a year for a suitable heart.

He checked the boy's height, weight, and other data.

Lin Jie found that compared to his peers, the boy was clearly much smaller, with a developmental level equivalent to at most a ten-year-old child.

This was indeed an unconventional heart transplant!

The boy's heart was only about half the size of an adult heart. To successfully transplant an adult heart into the boy's pericardial cavity, some surgical modifications were needed.

Lin Jie examined the boy's chest CT and, after some thought, decided to open the mediastinal pleura on both sides of his heart. This would make enough room for the "new" heart, allowing the "big heart" to fit into his small body.

In this way, it would solve the problem of being unable to close the chest smoothly after the heart transplant.

There was another minor issue to be addressed: the boy's blood vessels were much smaller than those of an adult heart.

To achieve seamless anastomosis, more of the donor heart's blood vessels must be kept, and a gradually tapered anastomosis approach should be adopted, cleverly connecting the larger and smaller blood vessels together like pinching the pleats on a dumpling.

This anastomosis technique was, of course, not challenging for Lin Jie...

"Knock knock..."

A gentle knock on the door interrupted Lin Jie's mental simulation of the surgery.

He stood up, opened the door, and found Kong Mingqing and a colleague of his on the other side.

"Lin Jie, after receiving your call, my colleague and I rushed over."

"Is it true that You Huangjie already..."

Lin Jie nodded, "He is now lying in the hospital bed in a state of brain death. Although his vital signs are maintained by the ventilator, he is already medically deceased."

"According to Mr. You's wishes, the organ removal surgery will take place tomorrow morning."

Lin Jie handed over two envelopes, one large and one small, to Kong Mingqing, "Mr. You had these delivered to me by courier at around eleven at night. I haven't opened the large envelope yet; you can take a look."

Kong Mingqing opened the small envelope, reviewed the contents of the letter with his colleague, pondered for a while, and said, "Lin Jie, we will take these two letters to the bureau for examination."

"Also..."

He hesitated for a moment and said, "We also need a forensic expert to come over and confirm whether the person lying in the hospital bed is really You Huangjie."

Lin Jie was feeling a bit upset and expressionlessly said, "Do whatever you need to do, as long as it doesn't delay the surgery tomorrow."

"I need to remind you, there are fourteen people waiting for Mr. You's organs to save their lives."

Kong Mingqing pondered for a while and said, "Given the special circumstances, I will report this matter to the leadership overnight, to try not to delay the surgery."

As Kong Mingqing was leaving, Lin Jie called him back hesitantly and said, "Regarding the financial compensation Mr. You entrusted to those two victims, Brother Kong, could you handle it for me?"

"You are a police officer, your involvement has more credibility. It would likely be better than my involvement."

Kong Mingqing didn't refuse and earnestly replied, "No problem. Lin Jie, rest assured, I will handle this matter properly for you."

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, Kong Xingchen has been admitted to the University of Political Science and Law. I just found out online this morning."

Lin Jie smiled lightly, "Congratulations, congratulations! I will definitely attend the celebration banquet."

"Of course you will!"

Saying this, Kong Mingqing sighed again and commented, "These past few days have really been unusually busy."

"This morning, old lady Han quarreled with her daughter-in-law again, threatening to end her own life, causing quite a stir. I'm really worried that old lady Han might make herself sick."

"Sigh, to be honest, that incident, how to put it, was quite unintentional."

"Thinking back, I seem to have played similar jokes on friends' kids before too..."

"When I returned to the bureau this morning and mentioned last night's incident, it sparked quite a discussion among my colleagues. They all said that with the increasing number of second kids, such careless words really need to be watched out for."

After saying this, Kong Mingqing bid farewell and left.

Just as he was about to close the door, he pushed it open again, returned, and asked, "Lin Jie, in his letter, did You Huangjie only specifically admit to the motorcycle accident caused by the steel rod?"

"He didn't seem to mention the watermelon incident involving the motorcycle, did he?"

Lin Jie recalled for a moment and shook his head, "He didn't mention it. Brother Kong, given the situation, if he didn't bring it up, it means he truly didn't do it."

Kong Mingqing chuckled bitterly and said, "Great, another unsolved case to crack..."

At eight fifty in the morning, the hospital held a simple farewell ceremony for You Huangjie!

At nine o'clock, doctors began harvesting organs from You Huangjie.

Each organ removed was placed into an organ preservation box, escorted by dedicated personnel to the airport or high-speed rail station, to be delivered as quickly as possible to the patients in need.

At nine fifty-one, Lin Jie, ready and prepared, entered the operating room to perform the heart transplant surgery for the twelve-year-old patient...
