Chapter 392: Chapter 247: National Cardiac Surgery Rankings
After the surgery began, Wu Ting first threaded an extremely fine catheter through the blood vessel to the site of the arterial stenosis. Then, he used an inflatable balloon to dilate the narrowed section.
Finally, he deployed the vascular stent in the newly expanded artery to prevent it from recoiling.
Wu Ting’s entire procedure was a classic, and his technique was textbook-perfect.
However, in the eyes of the directors from top-tier cardiac surgery departments like Fuwai Hospital and Saint An Hospital, the procedure itself was merely standard.
Of course, considering Wu Ting’s age, it was still impressive. But that was the extent of it.
In the observation room, in front of the remote consultation screen, Deputy Director Li Xun and Deputy Director Hu Zhipeng watched for only a short while before losing interest.
They felt their time would be better spent preparing their own cases for the National Cardiac Surgery Skills Competition.
Of course, Wu Ting’s skill in the vascular stent intervention was certainly proficient. Combined with the use of his one-of-a-kind bioresorbable polymer vascular stent, the case was good enough to make it into the final twelve of the competition.
However, to these two top-tier cardiac surgeons, both strong contenders for the top three, a case like this was just a clever trick.
They didn’t deny that Wu Ting deserved respect and admiration for his epoch-making improvements to the stent.
But this was only the first-stage surgery. If Wu Ting could successfully perform the second-stage surgery for Lou Musaang and truly provide a permanent cure, only then could his case be compared to their own radical curative surgeries—and perhaps even surpass them.
’The novelty of a bioresorbable stent can get him through the national competition this one time, at best.’
’But the skills portion of the final international competition is a live-demonstration challenge. What will Dr. Wu Ting have to compete with then?’
They had already looked into this newcomer making a splash in cardiac surgery. He had previously worked in hepatobiliary and emergency surgery, but he was a complete novice when it came to many cardiac surgical techniques. His fundamentals were weak, and his comprehensive skills were abysmal.
Therefore, neither of them paid much attention to Wu Ting.
’Perhaps in a few years, after some solid, in-depth study of cardiac surgery, he might reach our current level.’
Inside Fuwai Hospital, Dean Wen watched as Hu Zhipeng prepared to slip away, feeling rather helpless.
However, Wu Ting’s surgical technique was indeed by-the-book. The real impact came from the bioresorbable polymer stent. The significance of this operation wasn’t Wu Ting himself, but the revolutionary product he had invented!
The attending directors’ focus was also entirely on the stent.
From what they could see, the stent was quite remarkable. It could fundamentally resolve both acute and long-term thrombosis, and it solved the major drawback of conventional metal stents, which require subsequent removal.
The stent was also perfectly compatible with drug-eluting technology. In this case, Wu Ting had utilized grooves etched into the stent’s surface, which were filled with polymer molecules containing the drug. Since this structure acted as both a drug carrier and a release platform, the surgery’s execution was excellent.
"Excellent, excellent. This is truly a groundbreaking product."
"The short-term efficacy is exhilarating. All that’s left is to see the long-term follow-up on this stent. We need to see if it can truly be controllably broken down and absorbed in Lou Musaang’s body, thanks to its excellent biocompatibility..."
"The implantation method for this stent is also very advanced. It uses balloon expansion, with pre-dilation by the balloon ensuring the guidewire remains within the aorta. This facilitates delivering the stent to the lesion for precise positioning! All in all, it’s a pleasant surprise!"
"Indeed. The implantation results are even better than with ordinary metal stents. This is a great product with enormous potential. As long as it can guarantee perfect post-operative degradation and completely resolve the issue of thrombosis, this stent could see widespread clinical application."
Throughout the observation room, all the directors’ discussions revolved around the stent. The device had completely stolen the show.
Wu Ting, of course, didn’t mind. The product was meant to be the star of the show today.
As for the upcoming National Skills Competition, Lou Musaang’s first-stage treatment was just him casting a sprat to catch a mackerel.
The perfect second-stage surgery would be Wu Ting’s final, complete case presentation!
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on the perfect debut of the fourth-generation bioresorbable polymer vascular stent in front of numerous cardiac surgery experts. You have deeply engraved its outstanding features in their minds, raising the curtain on a best-selling, revolutionary product. You have obtained an entry from Director Ren Anyi: Ventricular Correction Surgery (Purple), one of the core surgical techniques in cardiac surgery, representing Director Ren’s decades of clinical experience and skill.]
Wu Ting’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected to receive such a huge prize after the surgery.
’Just as I thought. Using Lou Musaang’s treatment as a bridge to connect with so many top cardiac surgery experts has given me the perfect opportunity for a crash course in the field.’
Wu Ting grew even more excited for the upcoming National Cardiac Surgery Skills Competition.
’With the entries I’ve gained today, plus my previous ones, I’ll be able to firmly establish myself in the field of cardiac surgery!’

After Lou Musaang’s first-stage surgery was completed.
News about the bioresorbable polymer intravascular stent went viral.
The product’s outstanding performance and perfect clinical efficacy had teams from every cardiac hospital clamoring for it.
Besides Fuwai Hospital, which had already entered into a partnership, the other top-tier cardiac hospitals scrambled to contact Wu Ting, hoping to establish collaborations and explore its use in clinical surgery.
Wu Ting simply gave them Deng Feifei’s contact information, as she was more adept at handling such business partnerships.
Deng Feifei was in absolute awe of Wu Ting. With a single public surgery, Wu’s Pharmaceutical Company was poised to make another fortune.
’This Chairman Wu is a true marketing genius!’
’Just like that, he’s created another blockbuster product.’
The product was a collaboration with Weixing Petrochemical Group, and it directly caused Weixing Petrochemical’s stock to hit its daily trading limit!
Wu Ting paid no mind to the frenzy from the outside world.
After Lou Musaang’s first-stage surgery was complete and his condition had been temporarily stabilized, Wu Ting began preparing for specialized training in various cardiac surgical techniques at Haijin Port Hospital.
He was going all-out in preparation for the National Cardiac Surgery Skills Competition!
While Wu Ting was splitting his time between Wuting City First Hospital and Haijin Port Hospital, the emergency department at City First Hospital received some fantastic news.
They had been officially approved as a Provincial Key Specialty for Laparoscopic Diagnostic and Treatment Technology!
