Chapter 500: Chapter 286: The One James Is Promoting Is Actually Wu Ting

Anzhen Hospital.

At Anzhen Hospital, Dean Yu gave special instructions to the director attending the academic conference.

"Dean James’s visit to Qinghe City this time is quite unexpected."

"Besides the academic exchange itself, you must take this opportunity to get acquainted with Dean James. The elections for the International Cardiovascular Surgery Association are coming up soon. The hospital hopes that we can get a few more of our people elected as council members or executive council members this time."

"During this meeting with James, be proactive and find opportunities to recommend yourself. Gaining his support would be a great help in becoming a council member."

Dean Yu held figures like James in high regard and placed great importance on this high-profile academic exchange.

The title of an executive council member in the international association was an incredible honor, for both the hospital and the individual.

Dean Yu himself was an executive council member for the current term, and his re-election for the next was a certainty. However, he was getting old and needed the younger generation to step up. The one attending this conference was a promising rising star.

Becoming an executive council member of the International Cardiovascular Surgery Association would bring all sorts of intangible benefits, as well as direct academic influence.

Not to mention the positions of vice president or president.

Take James, for example. As the president of an international organization, he received deferential treatment no matter which country he visited. Within the industry, he only needed to raise his arm, and people would flock to answer his call.

For instance, for this academic exchange, if it were held solely under the name of the Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Group or Scholar Jiang, some senior hospital directors might have hesitated.

However, with Dean James’s name attached, no one in the field of cardiovascular surgery would dare to show disrespect.

Moreover, it was well-known that Dean James had always maintained good relations with his colleagues from Jin Country, and he was also a great admirer of its culture and history.

This time, upon hearing about Dean James’s academic event and receiving the invitation, they immediately cleared their schedules.

A similar scene played out at several of the invited hospitals.

...

...

Fuwai Cardiovascular Surgery Center.

Director He Guangzong led the team, which included Director Ren, Director Wu, and the other trainees from the camp. They held a small meeting, placing great importance on this exchange event.

He also hoped the trainees would cherish this opportunity.

In He Guangzong’s opinion, this rare opportunity was, to a certain extent, even more important than participating in the Asia-Pacific Region’s international competition.

All the trainees from this batch were present, except for Wu Ting.

Wu Ting had requested a day off in advance, which Scholar Jiang had personally approved.

Therefore, everyone assumed that Wu Ting had missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity due to some personal matters.

Hu Zhipeng, Li Xun, and Li Chunpei were gathered together, all eagerly anticipating the academic exchange.

They had long admired Dean James of Cleveland; a figure like him was the creator of the clinical guidelines for many of the surgical techniques they regularly used.

Even the Asia-Pacific Region’s international skills competition couldn’t secure his attendance. They never expected to have a chance to interact with him up close during their training, and even watch him perform surgery in person.

For this group of young doctors, this was an incredible blessing.

"I really wonder who this mysterious doctor is. They’re even introducing a whole new emerging discipline. That’s just insane."

"Watching a top-tier surgery live, listening to a high-profile academic report... tomorrow’s schedule is packed."

"This training camp was totally worth it. It’s worth it even without participating in the international competition."

"I heard this academic exchange will also be live-streamed globally on the official websites of the International Cardiovascular Surgery Association and Cleveland Hospital."

"After this academic conference, this mysterious doctor is going to become a huge sensation, the new hotshot in the field of cardiovascular surgery!"

"If only I could get the chance to operate with Dean James in this lifetime."

...

...

The next day, early in the morning.

The teams from the invited hospitals set out early, arriving at the Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Group’s Qinghe City research center ahead of schedule.

The surgery was to take place in a specially prepared Hybrid operating room. To ensure a smooth procedure, Steve and Wu Ting had prepared all the relevant software and hardware in advance.

This surgery would be Wu Ting and James’s first time demonstrating the classic Hybrid Technology to practitioners worldwide, utilizing a fourth-generation bioresorbable polymer vascular stent and a controllably adjustable self-expanding delivery system!

Before the surgery, Dean James and Wu Ting conducted thorough and comprehensive preoperative preparations.

For this surgery, James had also arranged for a media team from the Southern Country to film a special report. Afterward, the operation would be featured in a special segment in the official journal of the International Cardiovascular Surgery Association.

In the moments before the surgery, Wu Ting was testing out a new ability: Director He’s Absolute Spatial Thinking (Purple). A complete three-dimensional image formed directly in his mind.

Combining various case files and imaging data, Wu Ting was amazed to discover that with this ability, he could conduct a complete mental rehearsal of the procedure.

’No wonder Director He’s surgical skills are so incredible. He can make precise predictions for any operation beforehand.’

’A clinical genius truly blessed by the gods of medicine!’

He Guangzong was the most skilled surgeon Wu Ting had ever met—strictly in terms of clinical ability, of course.

Once the preoperative preparations were complete, James led Wu Ting and the surgical team directly into the custom-built operating room.

The other invited experts and the young talents they had brought with them were all directed to a dedicated observation room.

James’s assistant had already printed and distributed copies of An Qier’s various medical records to all the experts and scholars present.

This surgical live stream used a highly professional system, synchronizing the view on the screen with the lead surgeon’s perspective at the operating table in real time.

The video feed was focused entirely on the surgical site, so the technician could only be seen partially.

Thus, until the surgery began, the audience couldn’t clearly see who was performing the operation.

They only knew that the lead surgeon was a relatively young doctor, with Dean James assisting at his side.

Looking at the patient’s condition and imaging data, the experts in the room began to discuss among themselves.

"I didn’t expect the patient’s condition to be so complex. Such a concealed aortic aneurysm... How would one even operate on something like this?"

"An aneurysm in such a rare location... It’s a good thing it was discovered early. If it had been found any later, a rupture or a distal organ embolism would have been fatal."

Many of the experts began to ponder potential strategies.

The director of Fuwai’s Hybrid Technology research group commented:

"Perhaps Hybrid Technology could be used for this surgery..."

"Hybrid Technology is indeed a viable direction, but there are still a few limitations..."

"Indeed. The patient’s physiological functions are too poor, not to mention the severe allergies and keloid-prone skin... Even with Hybrid Technology, it would need to be optimized and modified..."

At that moment, another director thought of a different possibility.

"Could it be the Endoscopic Surgical Instrument Control System from Hai Country? It’s one of the newest and most minimally invasive techniques available right now."

At the mention of Watanabe Yu, some of the directors thought it was a real possibility.

Currently, the two most cutting-edge technologies in cardiovascular surgery were Fuwai’s Hybrid Technology and the Endoscopic Surgical Instrument Control System represented by Professor Watanabe Yu.

Amid everyone’s anticipation, the lead surgeon on the live stream began to move.

At the same time, the surgery was being broadcast live globally on the homepages of the Cleveland Hospital and International Cardiovascular Surgery Association official websites.

On the operating table, Wu Ting began the procedure. He used a femoral artery approach, with the idea of reconstructing the blood flow channel by enchanting the inside of the vessel with a self-developed vascular stent.

Watching this treatment plan that combined surgical and interventional methods, the directors in the observation room found it both familiar and strange.

It was familiar because this was the Hybrid Technology they were all exploring and researching. It was strange because this technician’s methods were highly unconventional.

This was especially true when they saw the brand-new, adjustable self-expanding delivery system on the operating table.

For this surgery, Wu Ting had specially rewritten the core algorithm for treating aortic aneurysms and had also integrated the 3D imaging navigation application platform he previously used in a liver tumor surgery.

However, the deep learning model currently lacked sufficient data on aortic aneurysms. This was also a rare, concealed aortic aneurysm, so the lack of relevant data and images meant he couldn’t leverage the advantages of a large-model database.

Because it was an interventional therapy, it also lacked the high-definition camera of an endoscopic system. For now, the system still had to be inserted manually; the only difference was that this delivery system had the added function of an adjustable head.

Nevertheless, the moment this concept and the self-developed delivery system were revealed, the directors in the observation room were still stunned.

The other directors who were seeing this concept for the first time were slapping the table in praise, while the contestants and directors who had attended the national cardiovascular surgery skills competition were astonished.

"Isn’t this the brand-new concept and technology that Director Wu Ting proposed during the cardiovascular surgery finals?"

"Back then, he used a new vascular stent and an adjustable self-expanding delivery system to treat a rare and complex case of aortic stenosis from a cardiovascular malformation."

"I can’t believe this concept is already being applied to treat a rare aortic aneurysm. Could the lead surgeon be Wu Ting?"

The few directors who were familiar with Wu Ting became more and more certain it was him as they watched the surgical technique on the operating table.

But when did Wu Ting get so familiar with Dean James that they were performing a joint surgery?

Director Ren and Director He thought about the main focus of this academic exchange, and how Scholar Jiang’s name was also attached, and they suddenly had a realization.

The more they thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Wu Ting happened to be on leave today, and he was the creator of this signature vascular stent, the adjustable self-expanding delivery system, and the wildly imaginative "Theory of Diverse Combinations for Hybrid Technology."

’Don’t tell me... the person Dean James is promoting at this ultra-high-profile academic event today is Wu Ting?’

’And the new Hybrid Technology is what he intends to report on and discuss at this conference?’

If that was really the case, it was simply explosive news.

Hearing Director He and Director Ren’s analysis, the few trainees who had been happily preparing to watch the surgery, as well as Jiang Ming, who was getting ready to take pictures to show Wu Ting the event, were all stunned.

"Wu Ting?"

"The one in the operating room is Wu Ting?"

It was like a sudden clap of thunder!
