"Domestic artificial blood vessels?" Director Wang's brows furrowed into a deep "Sichuan".
"As far as I know, there are currently only two domestic artificial blood vessel-related products approved for marketing. One is a polyester artificial blood vessel. Since it does not have a precoagulated coating, it is easy to bleed during surgery, and no one dares to use it clinically."
"There is also an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene artificial blood vessel, which is even more ridiculous. The product is used in medical aesthetics. Do you dare to use such a thing for aortic surgery?"
He stared at the young resident with sharp eyes and asked expressionlessly.
"So, which company is the domestic artificial blood vessel that you call usable? Why don't I know?"
The resident doctor was a little uneasy and said uneasily: "Director, the artificial blood vessel I just mentioned has not been officially launched yet. It is only in the clinical stage at the moment."
"Hahaha~" Director Wang seemed to have heard a big joke and laughed angrily: "You dare to tell me that a clinical product that has not yet been launched is used in major aortic surgery? How about you do this surgery? "
The resident doctor struggled to give his final cry: "But this is a product of Sanqing Group."
"Sanqing's artificial blood vessel?" Director Wang's laughter stopped abruptly, and his expression instantly changed to one of urgency: "How did you know?"
The resident doctor raised the phone in his hand high, pointed at the news interface on the screen, and said innocently.
"This has been in the news. Sanqing has developed the first biomaterial artificial blood vessel in China. It not only has large-diameter blood vessels suitable for the aorta, but also small- and medium-caliber blood vessels. It has entered the clinical stage. It is in the Kunming First People's Hospital. A total aortic replacement surgery was successfully completed, and the total length of the artificial blood vessels that the patient replaced was 1 meter long..."
Before he finished speaking, Director Wang snatched the mobile phone from his hand.
Director Wang read the entire report at a glance and suddenly felt refreshed.
"Great. The news was released by the official media, not some self-media. It looks very credible."
He paced back and forth in the conference room excitedly, opening his address book as he walked: "I happen to know the director of cardiac surgery at Kunming People's Hospital, Lao Li, right? I need to call him quickly to verify."
The call was quickly connected, and the two had an in-depth discussion and finally confirmed the Sanqing artificial blood vessel, confirming that it could completely replace McVei's imported blood vessels.
Director Wang was so excited that he contacted Sanqing's pharmaceutical sales company and successfully applied for a clinical trial quota for the patient.
At this point, the artificial blood vessel he had dreamed of was finally completed.
Lao Wang hung up the phone and ran out: "Finally, the goods have arrived. I have to tell my family members quickly to make them feel at ease."
The next morning, a refrigerated transport box was flown to the hospital.
When the box was opened in full view of the public, the sealed and packaged artificial blood vessel inside was revealed.
The conference room suddenly burst into warm applause.
Director Wang's face flushed with excitement, he took out the artificial blood vessel and looked at it repeatedly.
This is a pale yellow artificial blood vessel, 20 centimeters long and more than 2 centimeters in diameter. Even through the plastic packaging bag, it feels pliable.
The entire blood vessel curves naturally and is wrapped in a gelatinous film. The texture and endothelium can be faintly seen at both ends, making it look very realistic.
At this moment, Director Wang wished he could transform into a clairvoyant and see all the mysteries inside and outside the blood vessels at a glance.
He was playing with the artificial blood vessel in his hand. He was so excited that he couldn't stop and nodded: "That's right, the 24-gauge artificial blood vessel is suitable for the thoracic aorta."
The director of the gastroenterology department looked at this scene with a curious expression on his face and said, "It does look decent, and it feels very high-end. Let me have a look."
Director Wang reluctantly handed it over: "Just take a look, don't squeeze it, be careful not to break it."
The director of the gastroenterology department was speechless: "Am I that unreliable? Do you want to be my intern?"
He took it in his hand, tried the feel, put it back in the refrigerator, waved his hand and said: "Put it away quickly, it will be used for the operation later. I have convinced the family and signed the consent form. This is a major operation. , let’s study the specific steps carefully.”

After close discussions, the two parties finally finalized the specific surgical plan and began preoperative preparations.
The operation was carried out nervously and orderly. Under the escort of extracorporeal circulation experts, the blood perfusion of the heart, brain, spinal cord, abdominal organs and other organs was ensured. The surgical team took two hours to complete the thoracic aorta artificial blood vessel. Replacement surgery.
The abominable culprit, the fish bone, was finally found.
No one could have imagined that such an inconspicuous fish bone, less than 3 centimeters, could cause such a huge consequence.
On the second postoperative day, the patient was extubated successfully and was weaned from the ventilator.
Afterwards, my esophagus was cleaned every day, and I underwent high-level antibiotics without stopping for a moment, finally fighting off the infection.
In previous cases, the key reason why the mortality rate of such patients is high is that the chance of infection after major surgeries such as esophageal perforation and blood vessel replacement is greatly increased.
Once a similar infection spreads to artificial blood vessels and causes problems with the artificial blood vessels, it will be impossible to save them.
A few days later, the patient showed no signs of complications or infection and was transferred to the general extracardiac ward for recuperation. He will recover and be discharged soon.
This precious life was finally saved by doctors working together.
The same thing happened across the country. At a time when imported artificial blood vessels were out of stock, all major tertiary hospitals encountered the problem of being unable to perform artificial blood vessel replacement surgeries.
At this time, the artificial blood vessel replacement surgery reported by Kunming TV Station showed its value. It was a timely help and came at just the right time.
The patient who appeared on the show had his nearly 1-meter-long aorta replaced with Sanqing's artificial blood vessel, but he recovered quickly after the operation.
In less than two weeks, the intima grew inside the artificial blood vessel and merged seamlessly with the native blood vessel sutured at both ends.
Until the patient was discharged from the hospital, he did not experience any common thrombosis or bleeding problems with artificial blood vessels.
All this is enough to prove the excellent biocompatibility and smoothness of Sanqing's artificial blood vessel.
As soon as the program was aired, it immediately caused a huge response in the society and occupied the hot search list for several days.
It not only caused a sensation among patients, but also shocked the entire medical community. Doctors from cardiac surgeries kept calling to inquire.
In this way, Sanqing's artificial blood vessel had just begun clinical trials, and it became an instant hit.
Netizens felt the impact of this high technology, and they were stunned and started to discuss it passionately.
"Oh my God, is the cyber era coming early?"
"Sanqing now has artificial blood vessels, what else will there be in the future? Artificial heart? Artificial kidney? I can't even think about it!"
"I used to worry about my waist being damaged, which scared me so much that I didn't dare to travel. Now I can finally go abroad with confidence."
"I feel that Sanqing's technology seems to be more biological, not as purely mechanical as in cyber games."
"It goes without saying that we are a biopharmaceutical company, not an electronics factory."
"I hope Sanqing will not develop into an umbrella company in the future. As for the mechanical ascension you want, I guess I can only count on Da Mi and Ju Wei."
"Dear me, is Sanqing going to open a flesh and blood factory? Will it be able to continuously produce all kinds of hearts, livers, lungs and kidneys in the future? I'm actually looking forward to it."
"Am I the only one who thinks that artificial blood vessels look a bit like the yellow ones you eat in hot pot?"
"Let me go, if you put it that way, it really looks similar. The main reason is that it's so realistic."
"I'm just asking, do you think this artificial blood vessel can be eaten?"
"As expected of a country with big foodies, you can eat anything you catch."
"It feels like it should be edible. Isn't it all protein? It is said that there is no mixed plastic and it is made of pure biological materials. It should taste crunchy and crunchy."
"Upstairs, you have successfully made me quit hot pot. My favorite food before was yellow throat, but now I feel a strange feeling when I look at it, and I have no appetite at all."
"No one would mistake artificial blood vessels for yellow throat. This thing is not cheap."
"It's not about the money, it's just that it's for people. No one would be so perverted as to want to eat it."
"I compared it. Other brands' artificial blood vessels are like a yellow rubber tube. It feels like a plastic foreign body at first glance. I don't want to put it into my body at all. But Sanqing's artificial blood vessel looks much more realistic, more like something from They are cut off from pigs and cows, so I think it’s not unacceptable to endure it.”
"You may not know that artificial blood vessels have been used for so many years. Technology is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is production capacity. Now imported blood vessels are out of stock everywhere. You can't even use them. Sanqing is also lucky. Just now As soon as the opponent comes out, something goes wrong, which is like giving up the market."
"Damn it, is there such a thing? The opponent abandons his martial arts, hahaha, what is the destiny of the country?"
"It must be the reward for Sanqing's many good deeds over the years."
"Good people are rewarded. God has really opened his eyes."
"When great powers fight, destiny is mine!"

While there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, Terumo from Sakura Country and Mai Kewei from Europa both saw the news that Sanqing Artificial Blood Vessel has entered clinical practice.
Sakura Country, Terumo Headquarters.
CEO Sato Jiro looked at the report from the Chinese branch. I couldn't help but cursed.
"Baga, Sanqing has actually developed an artificial blood vessel made of all biological materials. No wonder China has been blocking the approval of our artificial blood vessels. Sure enough, it has already attacked us?"
Jiro Sato thought angrily that Terumo's artificial blood vessels accounted for about 20% of the global market and had been selling well in China.
However, he changed a supplier three years ago, and the anticoagulant coating used was derived from bovine serum. This caused the relevant Chinese authorities to have serious concerns about mad cow disease, and directly refused the marketing approval of the new product, resulting in the sales of Terumo's artificial blood vessels. It was instantly cut in half and disappeared from the Chinese market.
Logically speaking, this is the company's own problem. It can completely switch back to the original supplier or change the coating material. However, Terumo has always insisted on its own opinion and refused to change, leading to the current embarrassing situation.
It is conceivable that as soon as Sanqing's artificial blood vessels are released, Terumo's sales will probably drop to zero.
"Hmph, since it has been targeting us, let's simply give up on the Chinese market and delve deeper into overseas markets."
Zuo Tengjiro thought for a long time, but there was no good way. He could only face reality and be prepared to quit completely.
However, he feels that his own products have a first-mover advantage and are selling well overseas, so they should not be greatly impacted.
"Judging from the information revealed, Sanqing seems to only have large and medium-sized artificial blood vessels, which are similar to our products, but with material advantages."
"It seems that they have been unable to overcome the problem of small-diameter artificial blood vessels below 6 mm."
"It's just Sanqing, that's all. I thought they would make some innovative breakthroughs. It turns out that they are just filling the vacancies in their own country. In the past, China could not even make the simplest and largest aorta blood vessels. We can completely rely on imports.”
Satojiro sneered, threw the report aside, and turned to focus on work reports in other overseas countries.
The Germanic country on the other side of the ocean is the headquarters of McVie.
CEO Fisher sat in front of a large desk and looked across the way with a solemn expression.
"Hank, we have a powerful rival."
"Sanqing Group has begun to enter the field of cardiovascular devices. This is all the information about their latest research and development of artificial blood vessels. It uses a new biological protein material to achieve extremely excellent biocompatibility and patency."
Hank is the technical director of the cardiac surgery department. He picked up a document in front of him and read it carefully.
After a long time, he exhaled and said slowly: "Mr. Fisher, judging from the available information, Sanqing's artificial blood vessels are mainly used for aortic replacement surgeries, which does not pose much of a threat to us. "
"You must know that surgeons have inertia when performing operations. Once they are accustomed to using a product, it is difficult to change their usage habits. Sanqing's products have just begun to be used clinically, and the long-term effects are not yet known. Out of caution , doctors don’t have a lot of incentive to make changes, so we don’t need to worry too much.”
"Huaxia hospitals use Sanqing's new products just as a countermeasure in the face of shortages, because they have no choice."
"This just shows that our market strategy is very correct. When there is a shortage of production capacity, we should in principle protect the health of the country's people and the medical market. This is a long-term solution."
Fisher nodded after hearing this: "You are right. The Europa and Eagle markets are our basic market, and we must give priority to ensuring their supply. We have no time to take care of China at the moment and can only make choices. I know this is the right choice." The company has a bad reputation, but there is no better way.”
"We should still focus on the commissioning of the new factory and strive to restore production capacity as soon as possible."
“When production capacity increases, we still don’t know who will be the final winner.”
