However, before Domingo Paul could finish his thought, the needle seemed to be enchanted. It ignored the turbulent blood flow in the heart and directly pierced the opposite side of the hypertrophied left ventricle.
The moment the puncture was successful, Domingo Paul's eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.
How did the host surgeon control the 'soft' needle to do this?!
At the same time, in another operative field, the surgeon quickly fixed the thread on the needle. An anchor was attached to the outside of the left ventricle. Then, he clamped the thread with hemostatic forceps.
Soon, the same operation was carried out for the second time.
Just like the last time, the surgeon was as calm and indifferent as a machine. He did not even have a trace of emotion as he completed the puncture accurately.
Domingo Paul even thought that the synchronization rate of the two punctures was so high that even the timing was almost synchronized.
Regardless of the surgical skill, the puncture technique and the surgeon's subtle manipulation of the needle to overcome the influence of blood flow during the left ventricular beat were enough to shock people.
The more skilled the doctor and the more they understood the anatomical structure of the heart and fluid dynamics, the more shocked they were.
The four threads were connected a few minutes later. The ventricular septum and the outside of the left ventricle were each anchored.
Soon, a few hands appeared on both sides of the operative field.
The surgery finally slowed down and a hemostatic forceps appeared in the operative field.
The surgeon seemed dissatisfied with the hand that pulled the suture thread. He waved the hemostatic forceps and hit the radial process of the other hand.
At this point, Domingo Paul already understood the surgeon's intention.
He used the suture thread to pull the hypertrophied left ventricle and shrink the left ventricular cavity through external force to achieve the goal of Batista's surgery.
But could it really be done?
Domingo Paul was a little confused.
The patient was now in a state of advanced dilated cardiomyopathy. The left ventricle's pulse was soft and weak. Even so, he had to be very careful when suturing the heart. If he was not careful, the suture thread would be 'torn'!
The surgeon in the live surgery room had to use the suture thread to traverse the left ventricle and use the force of the suture thread to shrink the left ventricular cavity.
The suture thread was under great pressure and could easily break.
Even if the suture thread was made of special materials, it was still a delicate job to tie the knot with great force.
The surgeon was probably struggling with this point. He wanted the four sutures to tighten the myocardium of the left ventricle at the same time. This way, the force could be evenly distributed among the four sutures.
The idea was beautiful, but Domingo Paulo knew that it involved advanced and complicated physics and mathematical calculations.
Instinctively, Domingo Paolo did not think that the surgery would be successful.
The surgeon tapped both of his hands, then stood on the opposite side and tightened the suture in a strange posture.
In the thoracic surgical field, a pair of nimble hands began to tie knots. To Domingo Paulo, the force was too great, and he felt that the joint would definitely break.
In the surgical field of the interventional radiology, the four sutures were tightly stretched and could break at any time.
Dream on! Performing surgery like this was simply a joke.
Domingo Paulo sneered.
He had done hundreds of thousands of knots in his life, so he knew all kinds of sutures like the back of his hand. Moreover, as an expert in Batista's surgery, he was very clear about the pulsating force of the left ventricle.
The surgeon wanted to use sutures to shrink the left ventricle. It was a strange idea, but it could be achieved. Domingo Paulo did not deny this. In the surgery just now, the surgeon had used exquisite interventional techniques to show the entire process of the surgery to the world.
But!
Even if there was a breakthrough in material science, even if the strength of the knot could be just right, even if … all the details were perfect, how could the surgeon guarantee the strength of the heart contraction?
If the postoperative cardiac ejection fraction was not enough, the surgery would be in vain.
Brazilian doctors who studied Batista's surgery for a long time had studied this for a long time. Every cut of the heart muscle had its own explanation.
The shape, the size, the angle, everything had to be carefully calculated.
The surgeon was too naive. How could a brand-new surgical method be studied clearly in a short period of time? Domingo Paulo did not think that the surgery would be successful. Perhaps this' attempt 'would be the surgeon's Waterloo in the live surgery room.
While Domingo Paulo sneered, the four sutures were tied one by one.
In the interventional radiology field, the guide wire and catheter had been removed, and the surgery was declared over.
However, the surgical field did not change. Obviously, the surgeon was observing the effect of the surgery. The sneer on Domingo Paulo's lips grew wider. Perhaps in the next second, the sutures would break.
He was really looking forward to it. What would the surgeon do after the sutures broke? Would this live broadcast room be closed in the future?
Would he admit that the surgery was a failure and end it there, or would he open the chest for Batista's surgery?
Domingo Paulo did not doubt that the surgeon could complete Batista's surgery. However, the patient's condition was so serious that even he was unwilling to take on such a late-stage patient.
This patient was really lucky to be able to survive until now. If his physical fitness was slightly weaker, he would have died of heart failure long ago.
He picked up his coffee cup and felt infinite contempt for the surgeon in the live surgery room. A short 22-minute procedure. Was it just to show his stupidity?
However, in the next second, Domingo Paulo's lips rested on the coffee cup. It was as if he had been immobilized, and his next move disappeared.
His sneer instantly froze. Domingo Paulo's eyes widened as he looked at the image of the heart beating in the center of the operative field.
The heartbeat was so powerful! The four sutures pulled the heart, shrinking the hypertrophy of the left ventricle and restoring the normal physiological anatomy.
It did not break!
It did not break!
It did not break!
Looking at the beating of the heart, Domingo Paulo had already calculated the ejection fraction of the left ventricle in his mind. This was the field he was best at. He could roughly calculate the ejection fraction just by looking at the image and using mental calculation.
The ejection fraction was more than 50% and had returned to normal.
This was not scientific!
Domingo Paulo's eyes were glued to the screen of the interventional surgery. The hypertrophy of the left ventricle had shrunk a lot. The beating was strong and the ejection fraction was definitely higher than the lower limit of 50% of a normal person.
At this point, the surgery was declared a success. The surgical field darkened and the last image was the image of the four sutures increasing the contraction of the heart with elasticity.
The live broadcast room was closed, leaving only countless bullet screen comments flying on the screen.
'Impossible …' Domingo Paulo thought to himself.
He had just become the king of Batista's surgery, but he did not expect that Batista's surgery would be eliminated before the patient could be discharged from the hospital!
Coffee flowed down the corner of his mouth. Domingo Paulo seemed to have Alzheimer's and let the coffee drip on his clothes and pants.
