I Can See Health - Vol 3 Chapter 915
Chapter 915 This is not a condition
Yao Jie’s return to China has brought fresh blood to the field of cardiology in Huaxia.
But for the Fifth Academy of Magic Capital, the strength of its competitors is also much stronger.
Currently, the top domestic cardiology hospitals are concentrated in Kyoto, Modu, Jinghua, Guanghai and other regions.
It is still extremely difficult for the Fifth Academy of Magic Capital to break through the siege.
Some of the usual new technologies and new projects are all petty troubles in small fields with limited impact.
Lu Chen’s national nature project this time is a threshold for entering top scholars.
In addition to the National Natural Project, he also prepared another latest intervention technology. ,
That is Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Repair!
Huaxia patients with tricuspid regurgitation have a wide population and many comorbidities, and the prognosis of patients with moderate and severe tricuspid regurgitation is poor.
Current clinical drug treatment is ineffective, and tricuspid valve surgery has a high risk.
Crucially, although minimally invasive transcatheter approaches may be an effective means of treating high-risk tricuspid regurgitation, clinical guidelines lack relevant recommendations for transcatheter intervention.
The global tricuspid valve repair treatment is in the early stage of R&D exploration and clinical validation!
The entire field, on a global scale, is in the exploratory stage, and there is no large-scale clinical trial.
If we can make breakthroughs in this field, it will definitely bring the influence of the Fifth Academy of the Magic Capital to a higher level!
However, there is currently no domestic manufacturer of devices for tricuspid valve repair.
To complete transcatheter tricuspid valve repair, the most important thing is to have matching medical equipment.
On a global scale, only one company in the United States produces this equipment, and this equipment cannot be imported in China.
So, if Lu Chen wants to carry out this kind of surgery.
From the source, it is necessary to find a manufacturer that can produce this kind of equipment.
Lu Chen handed over this matter to Zou Wei.
Zou Wei, as a son of a businessman, has a wide network of contacts.
For him to do this, Lu Chen was more at ease.
Sure enough, less than a week.
Zou Wei found a manufacturer that can produce similar medical devices.
…
The Fifth Academy of the Magic Capital.
Cardiology Office.
Lu Chen and Zou Wei were sitting on the sofa chatting.
“Professor Lu, I found the manufacturer.” Zou Wei said, “But now there are two problems.”
“First, manufacturers have the ability to produce, but we need to provide our own design ideas, they are laymen after all.”
“Secondly, the owner of the manufacturer is currently focusing on the research of devices in the field of TAVR. It is very difficult for them to turn their heads to develop the tricuspid valve.”
Lu Chen smiled when he heard the words.
If Zou Wei can say that, there must be hope.
“What conditions does the other party have?” Lu Chen asked.
Zou Wei smiled, “Professor Lu, you still understand people. This company is called Magic City Huihe Medical Technology Co., Ltd., and it mainly produces various interventional medical devices. The boss of the company wants to talk to you in person. ”
“Talk to me in person?” Lu Chen wondered, “He knows me?”
Zou Wei smiled, “Professor Lu, who doesn’t know you in the medical circle of the Magic Capital now?”
Lu Chen smiled, “Well, when will we meet?”
“this weekend?”
“no problem!”
Lu Chen and Zou Wei made an appointment.
This weekend, go directly to Magic City Huihe Medical Technology Co., Ltd. to conduct business with the other party.
…
Time soon comes to the weekend.
Lu Chen arrived as promised.
But the meeting place has changed.
Zou Wei told Lu Chen on the phone that the place to meet was changed to the First Hospital of the Magic City.
“Modu First Hospital?” Lu Chen wondered, “Could it be that Magic City Huihe Medical Technology Co., Ltd. also has a cooperative relationship with Modu First Hospital?”
“As far as I know, there is none.” Zou Wei spread his hands, “It was Huihe’s boss who temporarily changed the location, and I don’t know the exact reason.”
Lu Chen and Zou Wei could only come to the first courtyard of the magic capital in doubt.
at the gate of the first courtyard of the magic capital.
Lu Chen met the boss of Huihe.
He is a bald middle-aged man with a slightly fat body, and his eyes narrowed into a line when he smiled.
But between his eyebrows, there seemed to be an indescribable worry.
“Mr. Zou, I’m sorry, I have something to do temporarily, so I changed the location.”
As soon as we met, Mr. Huihe said apologetically.
Zou Wei smiled and introduced: “Mr. Du, I’m not the protagonist today, this is Professor Lu Chen from the Cardiology Department of the Fifth Hospital of the Magic City.”
Du Fu looked at Lu Chen, quickly stretched out his hand, and said with a smile, “Professor Lu, look forward to it for a long time!”
Lu Chen stretched out his hand, squeezed it lightly, and released it.
“Mr. Du, hello, I take the liberty to disturb you today.” Lu Chen said slowly.
Du Fu smiled, “Professor Lu, let’s talk while walking.”
Although Lu Chen was a little strange and didn’t know where this was going, he still nodded, “Okay.”
Zou Wei took the initiative to stand aside, leaving the space for Lu Chen and Du Fu.
“Professor Lu, I know about the transcatheter tricuspid valve repair system you want to make.” Du Fu said, “But we businessmen must be profit-oriented. At present, this thing has not been listed yet, to be honest, no Things with too much profit, the return period is too long, and the risk is high, we need to be cautious!”
“However, once the first medical system for transcatheter tricuspid valve repair is made in China, as long as this operation can be popularized, then you will have the upper hand.” Lu Chen would not believe the one-sided words of these businessmen, “In the future, You can dominate the tricuspid valve repair market.”
As long as there are enough temptations and interests, it is absolutely impossible for these businessmen not to take the bait.
“But this is risky.” Du Fu shrugged his shoulders, “Our company is now fully producing and developing TAVR-related equipment, isn’t it making more money? Why take these risks?”
“Professor Lu, you are now the leader of TAVR. How big is the TAVR market in the future, don’t you know?”
Lu Chen frowned.
The Du Fu in front of him is really not easy to deal with.
He has a very good understanding of the current domestic cardiac intervention market.
As he said, the field of TAVR is very hot right now, and there is no need to develop a tricuspid valve repair system and take this risk.
But no one takes the risk, and with domestic medical technology, it will stop.
“Mr. Du, I’m not going to sell anything today.” Lu Chen said slowly, “The reason I’m looking for you is that I want to cooperate with the transcatheter to develop a tricuspid valve repair system. If this technology can be the first to pass clinical certification, whether it is right We, and the patients, are a big blessing.”
“Professor Lu, I understand everything you said.” Du Fu smiled and nodded, “So today I met with you.”
After talking, the three walked to the downstairs of an inpatient unit.
“Mr. Du, what is the premise of your cooperation?” Lu Chen said, “Or do you have any requirements for our Fifth Academy of Magic Capital? You can bring it up!”
Du Fu heard the words, paused, and looked up at the inpatient department.
“Professor Lu, I just want to ask you to do me a favor, so that I can cooperate with you, the Fifth Academy of the Magic Capital.”
“You said.” Lu Chen said quickly.
He thinks that Du Fu may have many restrictions on the Fifth Academy of the Magic Capital, such as only using the interventional instruments produced by their company.
But Du Fu’s answer surprised him.
“Professor Lu, I want you to help me see a patient.”
“Huh?” Lu Chen was taken aback, “Seeing a patient?”
“Yes.” Du Fu nodded, “The patient is my father, who is currently hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology. If you can cure my father, or at least find the cause, then I will overcome all difficulties and persuade the board of directors to cooperate with you in the Fifth Hospital of the Magic Capital. , together to develop a transcatheter tricuspid valve repair system.”
aside, Zou Wei frowned and said, “Mr. Du, I thought you were sincere!”
“You actually take this kind of thing as a condition?”
“If your father stayed in the First Hospital of Modu for so many days and couldn’t find the cause, could it be that Professor Lu could find the cause when he came?”
“I’m…” Du Fu sighed slightly, “I can’t do anything about it. And I’m not a condition. There are many veterans of the company’s board of directors, and most of them listen to my father. Even if I want to forcefully cooperate with you, they will not Take the risk and agree. Unless, Professor Lu, you can really find the cause of my father, or make his condition lessened, I think the board of directors will definitely agree to cooperate. ”
Lu Chen smiled when he heard the words.
“Mr. Du, you said it yourself, this is not a condition.”
He turned to look at Du Fu, “I also want to say, whether you cooperate with us or not, as long as I encounter a patient with difficulties, I will see it.”
