Chapter 1056 The Desire for Life
The next day, the New York International Medical Summit officially opened.
The main venue, which can accommodate thousands of people, was packed with medical elites, scientific researchers, and pharmaceutical company representatives from more than 100 countries and regions around the world gathered together in a solemn and warm atmosphere.
Chen Yang and He Yonghua arrived at the venue early, accompanied by Zhao Hongbo and Li Xiaowen.
Their seats were arranged in the front, next to top experts such as Borg, Muller, and Robert.
Along the way, people kept recognizing Chen Yang and came forward to greet him, their eyes full of curiosity and admiration.
Apparently, the "legendary incident" that happened at the welcome reception last night has spread quickly.
"Look, that's Doctor Chen Yang!"
"He was the one who used a few silver needles to cure Ichiro Yamamoto and Charles's acute illnesses last night?"
"So young! It's unbelievable!"
"I heard he has a report today. I'm really looking forward to it!"
Listening to the whispers around him, He Yonghua felt very proud and his back straightened unconsciously.
Chen Yang remained calm, just responding to everyone's gazes with a smile, his demeanor composed.
The highlight of the opening ceremony was in the morning, with several Nobel Prize winners in Physiology or Medicine and senior officials from the World Health Organization delivering keynote speeches, discussing the challenges and future trends facing global healthcare.
Chen Yang listened very carefully. These world-leading perspectives and thoughts were very inspiring for the future development of him and Kyoto International Medical Center.
In the afternoon, the reports in the sub-venues began.
Chen Yang and He Yonghua came to the cardiothoracic surgery and interventional therapy sub-venue, and their reports were scheduled for later in the afternoon.
The venue was also full of people.
Chen Yang even saw Ichiro Yamamoto and Charles. They were sitting in the back row. Their faces seemed a little pale, but they were still in good spirits.
When they saw Chen Yang come in, their expressions were a little unnatural, but they still nodded slightly.
The first person to take the stage to give a report was Professor Robert from the Cleveland Clinic. He shared the long-term follow-up results of a new type of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The data was detailed and attracted widespread attention.
Professor Muller from the Berlin Heart Center in Germany then reported on the latest experience with ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation in patients with end-stage heart failure.
The content of each speaker represents the world's cutting-edge level in this field.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, we finally arrived at He Yonghua.
The host introduced, "Next, we would like to invite Professor He Yonghua from Huaxia Kyoto International Medical Center and Kyoto Union Hospital to give us a very special report on "Surgical Management of Complex Valvular Heart Disease with Severe MAC Calcification Lesions and Intraoperative Emergency Response Using Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine."
Applause broke out in the venue, but it was obvious that many people were looking at them with scrutiny and curiosity.
After all, before the meeting started, Chen Yang and Kyoto Medical Center had made a lot of news.
He Yonghua took a deep breath, glanced at Chen Yang who was calm and composed in the audience, calmed himself down, and walked up to the podium.
He began to report according to the ideas he and Chen Yang had agreed upon in advance.
A carefully edited video clip of the surgery first played on the giant screen. When the image showed the massive, rock-hard calcified plaque on the heart, a collective gasp echoed throughout the conference room.
"God, this level of calcification..."
"How can this possibly be a complete valve replacement?"
"It's amazing!"
He Yonghua calmly explained the surgical steps: how to carefully free the tissue, how to "carve" it accurately, how to deal with the risk of rupture at any time... Every step was like dancing on the tip of a knife, demonstrating extremely superb surgical skills and psychological quality.
Even a top cardiac surgeon like Yamamoto Ichiro looked gravely in the audience. He wondered if he were the lead surgeon, facing such a dire situation, his success rate would probably be less than 30%.
However, what is even more shocking is yet to come.
When the video played the moment when the patient suddenly developed intractable ventricular fibrillation, defibrillation was ineffective, blood pressure dropped sharply, and his life was in danger, the air in the conference hall seemed to freeze!
Everyone held their breath, their hearts in their throats.
At this moment, the video shows Chen Yang decisively stepping forward, taking out a silver needle, inserting it into the patient's Neiguan acupoint and giving strong stimulation!
Then, a miracle happened!
The despairing ventricular fibrillation waveform on the ECG monitor actually gradually turned into sinus rhythm! Blood pressure also rebounded!
“Oh, My God!”
“It’s unbelievable!”
“He really did it!”
The venue instantly became lively! Exclamations and discussions echoed one after another!
Although many people have heard of this legendary story, the shock of seeing the surgical video with your own eyes is completely different!
He Yonghua paused the video at the appropriate moment and began to explain: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the acupuncture emergency treatment technique we use during surgery. Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine meridian theory, the Neiguan acupoint belongs to the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian and is a key acupoint for treating heart diseases. Modern research speculates that its mechanism of action may be related to regulating autonomic nervous system balance and improving myocardial electrical stability..."
He cited the appendix on traditional Chinese medicine theory compiled with the help of Xun Jiahong, and presented some preliminary animal experimental data and literature support. Although it was not perfect, the logic was clear and provided direction for thinking.
"…We believe that in extremely critical situations, the integration of Chinese and Western medicine may open a new window for us, providing us with an additional approach and tool to solve problems. This technology still requires more rigorous research to verify its mechanism and optimize the solution, but its demonstrated clinical potential cannot be ignored."
At the end of the report, He Yonghua showed photos and data of Zhang Tiezhu's gradual recovery after the operation, including improved heart function and quality of life, proving the ultimate success of the treatment with real results.
When He Yonghua finished his report and said "thank you", the venue erupted into thunderous and long-lasting applause after a brief silence!
Lawrence was watching this scene in the VIP seat of the venue, and standing next to Lawrence was his health doctor Pierce.
Pierce is a cardiologist at Washington Hospital in the United States. He was hired by Laurent at a high salary as a health care doctor and is now responsible for Lawrence's condition.
"Dr. Pierce, what do you think?" Lawrence asked Pierce.
"Dr. Chen's skills are quite high..."
Lawrence said, "Even at the most critical moment, he remained calm and composed. I didn't see any panic in his eyes, which shows that he always had confidence."
Most of the others might be paying attention to Chen Yang's skills, but Pierce saw Chen Yang's calm eyes.
Without sufficient confidence, even the world's top doctors would not be able to remain calm in such a scenario, but Chen Yang remained calm and organized.
"I hope he can give me hope." Lawrence whispered.
This old man, who is over 70 years old, still has a strong desire for life.
