The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 1437 - 1437 702 Success

?Chapter 1437: 702 Success Chapter 1437: 702 Success Had Gu Yan not been struck by that palm from Nangong Li, there might have been a slight chance for a transcatheter closure — it would only require an extremely thin sheath to be inserted from the leg to the heart, delivering the occluder right to the defect, easily blocking the gap.

But now, the area of defect was too large, too big for the tiny occlusion umbrella to handle, which made an invasive cardiac surgery necessary.

Watching the spot Gu Jiao was disinfecting, the National Master asked, “You’re not performing a standard thoracotomy?”

A standard thoracotomy entails cutting open the sternum from above the heart. It’s a straightforward procedure with a large exposure area that doesn’t require extraordinarily high precision from the physician.

However, Gu Jiao opted to make a small incision under Gu Yan’s right armpit, significantly elevating the difficulty level.

“A standard thoracotomy leaves too long of a wound, and the probability of complications like pericardial effusion after surgery is also higher.”

She didn’t want to leave such an unsightly scar on Gu Yan’s chest, nor did she want to cause greater damage to his body.

A right-sided incision meant less trauma, spared the bones and muscles, and although it made the operation much trickier for her, the recovery and potential complications post-surgery would be substantially reduced. Moreover, such a small incision could be treated with Scar Ointment from the Research Institute.

Gu Yan still cared about his appearances, after all.

Gu Jiao inserted the cannula into the incision, establishing external circulation, and that’s when the real surgery began.

…

Inside the side room, Elder Master Meng sat shaking his leg.

Ya He, seeing even the always composed and calm Chess Sage of the Six Nations beginning to shake his leg, couldn’t help but offer words of comfort, “Elder Master Meng, you needn’t be too nervous. With the National Master here, the surgery is sure to go smoothly.”

Ya He was unaware that the actual lead surgeon was Gu Jiao. All disciples in the National Master Hall treated the National Master as a deity, their belief in him unwavering, whether in terms of medical skills or divination, the National Master was seen by everyone as always capable of creating miracles.

“I’m not nervous,” Elder Master Meng said.

“Then your leg…” Ya He pointed to Elder Master Meng’s right leg, which was shaking vigorously.

Elder Master Meng surreptitiously pressed down on his right leg and asked in a deep voice, “What’s wrong with my leg?”
