Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Office of the Vice President.

Dean Zhang sat at his desk, looking at a piece of information, sometimes frowning, sometimes clenching his fists.

After a while, a middle-aged doctor in his forties walked in. Professor Liu Bin, a top expert in the Department of Cardiac Surgery at the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University, is also a giant in the field of heart transplantation in China.

When Dean Zhang met Professor Liu, he was very respectful and asked politely: "Professor Liu, I heard that you recently received a heart transplant from the Imperial Union Medical College Hospital?"

"Yes, Dean Zhang also knows." Professor Liu did not hide it. After all, among the senior doctors in the country, flying knives are very popular, and no hospital will bother to find a doctor because of this.

Hearing Professor Liu's affirmative answer, Dean Zhang frowned. Normally, he really wouldn't care if Professor Liu went to the Imperial Capital to fly knives.

However, now he happened to encounter a more important matter. He needed Professor Liu to stay and guard him, to organize a hospital that would leave a mark in the history of heart transplantation.

However, the cost of a heart transplant is basically around 200,000 to 500,000 yuan, especially for a top expert in the country like Professor Liu, who performs one surgery for at least 400,000 yuan.

Therefore, to directly ask Professor Liu to give up the flying knife and stay to prepare for the surgery in the hospital would be to ruin his career and financial resources. Of course, Dean Zhang could not make a strong request and could only gently persuade Professor Liu to give up on his own initiative.

After all, Dean Zhang is an old fox who has been in management for many years, and he is very good at playing the emotion card. He then got up and started making tea, seemingly aimlessly chatting.

"Professor Liu, what do you think of the cardiac surgery department at the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University?"

Dean Zhang made tea, poured a cup for Professor Liu, filled it himself, took a sip, and said calmly.

"The Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University is naturally a pioneer in heart transplantation in China. The history of heart transplantation at the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department of the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University can also be regarded as the development history of heart transplantation in China."

Of course, Professor Liu is confident about heart transplantation. In his opinion, the heart transplant surgery at the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University is the best in the country, and he is the top heart transplant performer in the Cardiac Surgery Department at the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University.

.

Taking another sip of tea calmly, Dean Zhang continued with emotion: "Yes, the heart transplant surgery in our hospital has really gone through a process from scratch, from obscurity to being famous in China."

Putting down the tea cup, Dean Zhang looked at Professor Liu with deep meaning and said in a long voice: "It's not easy~"

Professor Liu also nodded: "Yes, it is really not easy for our heart transplant surgery in the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University to reach today. From the exploration stage to the development stage to the current mature stage, it has taken several generations of efforts.

.”

Exploration stage: In 1956, Professor Zhao Shijie, the pioneer of the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department of the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University and a famous surgical expert, successfully carried out experimental research on dog head transplantation and obtained the best domestic record of survival of 5 days and 4 hours after transplantation, thus opening up the country's history.

A first in the field of organ transplantation.

In the early 1980s, Professor Xia Qiuming of the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University, my country's famous cardiothoracic surgeon, resolutely aimed at this risky high-tech project. He led his staff to search for literature and understand the history and current situation of heart transplantation abroad. He took the lead in starting the challenging project in China. Heart, heart and lung transplantation

Through the exploration of the field, we have successively determined the basic surgical procedures of heart transplantation and explored effective anti-rejection treatment methods after heart transplantation. At the same time, we have done a lot of clinical and basic research on the monitoring of acute rejection after heart transplantation, which has provided a good foundation for my country's heart transplantation. The transplantation work laid a solid foundation.

On April 26, 1992, Xia Qiuming performed the surgery. Hundreds of experts from the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University and more than 20 departments worked together to perform the first surgery in Northeast China on Yang Yumin, a farmer from Dongfeng Town, Taiping District, Harbin City, who had suffered from dilated myocarditis for many years.

One year after the allogeneic heart transplant, Yang Yumin returned to society and supported himself, and the next year he was blessed with a daughter.

Yang Yumin lived healthy for 18 and a half years after the operation, becoming the longest healthy person in mainland China after a heart transplant. Yang Yumin died of chronic rejection on November 20, 2011...

However, the development stage of our hospital: Based on this, my country's heart transplantation work has entered a new clinical stage from a low state. In February 1994, the second year after the first heart transplantation, the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University Successfully performed an allogeneic heart transplant for Yu Wenfeng, an outstanding teacher at Maoershan Town Middle School in Shangzhi City, Long Province.

In 2000, the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University successfully performed a heart transplant on 57-year-old writer Yang Mengyong, completing the oldest heart transplant case in my country. After the operation, Yang Mengyong's silver hair turned into black hair, and he was radiant. In Yang Mengyong's " In the book "Live and Let's Talk", he fully expressed his gratitude to the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University for giving him a second life. "Repaying society" with his own practical actions is the biggest wish of several heart-changers.

The third stage is the mature stage: while vigorously developing clinical cardiac surgery operations, experts from the Cardiac Surgery Department of the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University realized that extracorporeal circulation and myocardial protection are the basis for the development of cardiac surgery, and repeatedly conducted a large number of animal experimental studies.

, breakthrough progress has been made in a series of studies on myocardial protection methods such as ischemic cardiac arrest, potassium-containing cold crystal myocardial arrest, cold-blood potassium arrest, and warm-blood potassium arrest. The National Science and Technology Commission has positioned it as the most advanced method in the country.

Advanced, further establishing the leading position of the Cardiac Surgery Department of the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University in the country.

Nowadays, aortic sinus aneurysm repair, complete pulmonary vein aberrant drainage correction, coronary artery bypass grafting, mitral valve replacement, aortic valve replacement, etc. have become routine procedures in the Cardiac Surgery Department of the Second Hospital of Medical University.

Hearing Dean Zhang's detailed knowledge of the department's heart transplant surgery, Professor Liu was naturally filled with excitement and mood swings.

"Professor Liu, now you are the flag-bearer of our hospital's mature stage. With the joint efforts of you and the department, the success of the Rastalli operation, Fantan operation and Bantall operation marks the success of the Cardiac Surgery Department of the Second Hospital of Medical University in complex congenital heart disease and

The field of surgical treatment of macrovascular diseases has reached a new level."

“This year, thousands of heart surgeries have been completed, including all common heart diseases and complex heart diseases in infants and young children, minimally invasive surgeries for small children, valve replacement and plastic surgery, on-pump and on-pump bypass surgeries, large blood vessel surgeries, and organ transplant surgeries.

etc., the surgical success rate reached 96%, and cardiac surgery has become the No. 1 hospital in the three northeastern provinces.

1. It is a key discipline with certain influence in the country and abroad. It is the only hospital in the country that can simultaneously carry out heart transplantation, lung transplantation, total aortic arch replacement, treatment of low-weight and complex congenital heart disease, coronary heart disease bypass, biological valve mechanical valve replacement, and thoracoscopy.

A cardiac surgery center with many cutting-edge technologies including minimally invasive cardiac surgery.”

Hearing Dean Zhang's praise, Professor Liu also puffed up his chest. This is what he is most proud of.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost exaggerated, Dean Zhang sighed faintly: "Originally, this time, our hospital has an opportunity to once again leave a mark in the history of heart transplantation in the country and even the world. However,

Professor Liu happens to be going to perform a flying knife, alas, what a pity."

"What does Dean Zhang mean? What opportunity can make our department go further domestically and internationally? In the face of the honor of the department, I can definitely let go of this flying knife."

Professor Liu was in a state of excitement at the moment, and his mind was filled with collective honor. He directly put the matter of flying knives aside and gave up the operation fee of 400,000 yuan.

"Does Professor Liu still have an impression of Ye Jian?"

"Ye Jian?" Professor Liu began to think in his mind, "You mean, the Ye Jian who had his heart changed by the then director of cardiac surgery ten years ago."

"Yes, this time, I would like to ask you to organize more than 20 related departments and hundreds of medical workers again to challenge another limit in the history of our country's medical science, the "second heart transplant", that is, to replace Ye Jian with his third heart transplant.
