Chapter 455: Chapter 268: Wu Ting: 100 Points

Li Xun sat ramrod straight, a cold and distant air about him.

Wu Ting had looked into Li Xun. He was likely the other contestant who would advance to the finals alongside him, so he wasn’t in a hurry to strike up a conversation.

’Next, I should adjust my own state of mind.’

The sudden silence made Li Xun a little uncomfortable. ’It seems Wu Ting has no intention of chatting with me!’

Just now, he’d been eavesdropping and had overheard quite a bit. It was obvious Wu Ting didn’t have a deep understanding of many cardiac Surgical Techniques. It was mostly the other doctors explaining and teaching them to him.

Wu Ting listened so intently that it gave Li Xun the strange impression he was learning each doctor’s specialty Surgical Technique on the spot.

Li Xun shook his head, clearing away these distracting thoughts.

’Once this morning’s session is over, I need to prepare for the afternoon competition. I probably won’t cross paths with this Wu Ting ever again.’

「Main Auditorium.」

The competition was drawing to a close, with only the last two contestants left to present.

The results for each region were more or less decided.

After Director Xin came out, she looked at the Eastern Region leaderboard, her excitement palpable.

According to the current rankings, excluding the final two, Wu Ting and Li Xun, she was in first place in the Eastern Region with 93 points.

This also placed her fourth overall among all seven major competition regions.

Li Xun’s mentor had already started congratulating Director Xin.

The entire audience in the Eastern Region section was cheering loudly for Director Xin.

Although Li Xun would likely score higher, securing second place was a high probability for her. After all, in everyone’s opinion, it would be difficult for that Wu Ting to even score 90 points.

As Director Xin was secretly rejoicing, the screen showed the second-to-last Technician entering the examination hall.

When the second-to-last contestant entered, a sudden gasp erupted from the audience.

The presidium also entered, their spirits high.

Deputy Director Hu Zhipeng from Fuwai Hospital, competing on his home turf, had entered the hall.

Director Hu was a favorite to win this competition. The surgical video he brought for his entry was:

"Surgical Treatment of Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation Following Left Heart Valve Replacement Under Peripheral Cardiopulmonary Bypass."

The patient Director Hu presented this time was one who had undergone a left heart valve replacement at a lower-level hospital and subsequently developed severe tricuspid regurgitation.

This case had widespread clinical relevance. Currently, left heart valve replacement surgery was being widely adopted in various hospitals, and functional tricuspid regurgitation was also a very common problem.

Functional tricuspid regurgitation often leads to the enlargement of the right ventricle. In severe cases, it can cause right heart failure and systemic circulatory congestion, severely impacting the patient’s quality of life.

And this time, Director Hu intended to solve this very problem.

Using a completely new tricuspid annuloplasty technique, he had drastically improved a problem that had long plagued the clinical field.

Of course, his research currently lacked a sufficient sample size and still had some flaws, but it was infinitely close to solving this major clinical pain point.

Conventional tricuspid annuloplasty methods include: anterior leaflet augmentation with bovine pericardium, the double-orifice technique, and annuloplasty ring placement...

But in this surgery, Director Hu used an unprecedented, modified technique: the HZP Annular Constriction Tricuspid Annuloplasty!

Through this method, Director Hu addressed the root cause by alleviating pulmonary hypertension and atrial fibrillation, thereby reducing the problem of tricuspid regurgitation!

During Director Hu’s presentation, not only the audience and the regional judging panels but even the presidium in the main auditorium—all of whom were titans of medicine—were left in awe.

"Scholar Jiang, this Director Hu is truly remarkable."

"It seems this year’s skills competition champion can be none other than Director Hu!"

"Using peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass assistance, the modified HZP Annular Constriction Tricuspid Annuloplasty completely improves the function of the right ventricle and the left heart system. It has a significant therapeutic effect on severe, organic tricuspid lesions that are extremely difficult to repair!"

"After this competition, Director Hu’s research could absolutely be submitted to a top-tier international journal!"

"Scholar Jiang, Fuwai is truly the pinnacle of Jin Country Heart Surgery, as expected. With Director Hu in the running, everyone else can only fight for second place!"

While everyone was focused on Director Hu’s competition broadcast, a small group of spectators—drawn by Wu Ting’s reputation in other fields or simply admiring his good looks—was paying attention to Wu Ting’s surgical video presentation.

As they listened, they grew more and more astonished, and one by one, they began to exclaim in amazement.

「Inside the Eastern Region examination hall.」

Wu Ting was in the middle of explaining the surgical plan for Lou Musaang.

Regarding the first-phase surgery, these experts were already familiar with the once-famous fourth-generation bioresorbable polymer vascular stent. In fact, many of the expert judges’ hospitals had already initiated project collaborations with Wu’s Pharmaceutical Company.

Therefore, there was nothing particularly new about this first-phase surgery.

However, what they didn’t expect was that after finishing his explanation of the first-phase surgery, Wu Ting moved directly on to describe the plan for the second phase, as well as a brand-new, controllable, self-expanding valve delivery system!

They looked at this Wu Ting, utterly astonished!

He had actually teamed up with the Microstar Petrochemical Team, using new materials, an unprecedented system algorithm, and a controllable delivery system!

The judges present were all veteran experts who had devoted decades to the field of cardiac surgery. Every single one of them had performed hundreds, if not thousands, of aortic valve replacements.

For a long time, there had been no good methods for dealing with complex vascular deformities and severely calcified aortas.
