Chapter 911 This Is Not a Condition
Yao Jie's return to China has brought fresh blood to the field of cardiology in China.
However, for Shanghai No. 5 Hospital, the strength of its competitors has also become much stronger.
At present, the top cardiology hospitals in China are concentrated in Kyoto, Shanghai, Jinghua, Guanghai and other regions.
It is still extremely difficult for Shanghai No. 5 Hospital to break through the siege.
Some of the new technologies and new projects in the past are small-scale fights in small fields with limited impact.
Lu Chen's National Natural Science Project this time is a threshold to become a top scholar.
In addition to the National Natural Science Project, he also prepared another latest interventional technology. ,
That is transcatheter tricuspid valve repair!
The population of patients with tricuspid regurgitation in China is wide and has many comorbidities. Patients with moderate and severe tricuspid regurgitation have a poor prognosis.
At present, clinical drug treatment is not effective, and tricuspid valve surgery has a high risk.
The most important thing is that although minimally invasive transcatheter methods may be an effective means of treating high-risk tricuspid regurgitation, clinical guidelines lack relevant recommendations for transcatheter interventional treatment.
The global tricuspid valve repair treatment is in the early stage of research and development and clinical verification!
The entire field is in the exploratory stage worldwide, and there are no large-scale clinical trials.
If there is a breakthrough in this field, it will definitely make the influence of the Fifth Hospital of Shanghai City rise to a higher level!
However, there is no manufacturer in China that produces tricuspid valve repair equipment.
The most important thing to complete transcatheter tricuspid valve repair is to have matching medical equipment.
Globally, only one company in the United States produces it, and China cannot import this equipment now.
So, if Lu Chen wants to carry out this operation.
From the source, we must find a manufacturer that can produce this equipment.
Lu Chen handed this matter over to Zou Wei.
As a businessman's son, Zou Wei has a wide network of contacts.
Lu Chen is more relieved to let him do this.
Sure enough, within a week.
Zou Wei found a manufacturer that can produce similar medical equipment.
...
Fifth Hospital of Shanghai City.
Cardiology Department Office.
Lu Chen and Zou Wei sat on the sofa and chatted.
"Professor Lu, I have found the manufacturer." Zou Wei said, "but there are two problems now."
"First, the manufacturer has the ability to produce, but we need to provide our own design ideas, after all, they are outsiders."
"Second, the boss of the manufacturer is currently focusing on the research of instruments in the field of tavr, so it is difficult to ask them to turn to the development of tricuspid valves."
Lu Chen smiled when he heard this.
Zou Wei can say this, so there must be hope.
"What are the conditions of the other party?" Lu Chen said.
Zou Wei smiled, "Professor Lu, you are still a wise man. This company is called Modu Huihe Medical Technology Co., Ltd., which mainly produces various interventional medical devices. The company's president wants to talk to you in person."
"Talk to me in person?" Lu Chen asked in confusion, "He knows me?"
Zou Wei smiled, "Professor Lu, who in the Modu medical circle doesn't know you now?"
Lu Chen smiled, "Okay, when will we meet?"
"This weekend?"
"Okay, no problem!"
Lu Chen and Zou Wei made an appointment.
This weekend, I went directly to Shanghai Huihe Medical Technology Co., Ltd. to discuss business cooperation with them.
…
Time quickly arrived at the weekend.
Lu Chen arrived as scheduled.
But the meeting place was changed.
Zou Wei informed Lu Chen on the phone that the meeting place was changed to Shanghai First Hospital.
"Shanghai First Hospital?" Lu Chen asked in confusion, "Does Shanghai Huihe Medical Technology Co., Ltd. and Shanghai First Hospital also have a cooperative relationship?"
"As far as I know, no." Zou Wei spread his hands, "It was the CEO of Huihe who temporarily changed the location, and I don't know the specific reason."
Lu Chen could only come to Shanghai First Hospital with Zou Wei in confusion.
At the gate of Shanghai First Hospital.
Lu Chen met the CEO of Huihe.
He was a bald middle-aged man with a fat body, and his eyes narrowed into a line when he smiled.
But there seemed to be an indescribable worry between his eyebrows.
"Boss Zou, I'm sorry, I had something urgent to do, so I changed the location."
As soon as they met, the CEO of Huihe said apologetically.
Zou Wei smiled and introduced: "Mr. Du, I am not the protagonist today. This is Professor Lu Chen from the Department of Cardiology of the Fifth Hospital of Shanghai."
Du Fu looked at Lu Chen, quickly extended his hand, and smiled: "Professor Lu, I have heard of you for a long time!"
Lu Chen extended his hand, gently shook it, and then let go.
"Mr. Du, hello, I am very presumptuous to bother 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 to go, he still nodded, "Okay."
Zou Wei took the initiative to stand aside, leaving space for Lu Chen and Du Fu.
"Professor Lu, I have learned about the transcatheter tricuspid valve repair system you want to make." Du Fu said, "But as businessmen, we must focus on profit. At present, this thing has not been listed. To be honest, things that don't make much profit have too long a return on investment period and high risks. We need to be cautious!"
"But once you make the first domestic transcatheter tricuspid valve repair medical system, as long as this surgery can be popularized, you will have the upper hand." Lu Chen will not easily believe the one-sided words of these businessmen, "You will dominate the future tricuspid valve repair market."
As long as there are enough temptations and benefits, these businessmen will definitely not take the bait.
"But this is risky." Du Fu shrugged his shoulders, "Our company is now fully engaged in the production and development of tavr-related equipment. Isn't it more profitable? Why take these risks?"
"Professor Lu, you are now a leader in tavr. Don't you know how big the future market of tavr is?"
Lu Chen frowned.
This Du Fu in front of him is really not easy to deal with.
He is very familiar with the current domestic cardiac intervention market.
As he said, the tavr field is currently very hot, and there is no need to develop a tricuspid valve repair system and take such risks.
But if no one takes the risk, domestic medical technology will stagnate.
"Mr. Du, I won't keep you in suspense today." Lu Chen said slowly, "The reason I came to you is that I want to cooperate in the development of a tricuspid valve repair system through catheters. If this technology can be the first to pass clinical certification, it will be a great thing for both us and patients."
"Professor Lu, I understand what you said." Du Fu smiled and nodded, "So I met you today."
As they talked, the three of them walked downstairs to an inpatient department.
"Mr. Du, what is the premise of your cooperation?" Lu Chen said, "Or what requirements do you have for our Magic City Fifth Hospital? You can just ask!"
Du Fu paused after hearing this, and he 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 your Magic City Fifth Hospital."
"You say." Lu Chen said hurriedly.
He felt that Du Fu might have many restrictions on the Magic City Fifth Hospital, such as only being able to use interventional devices produced by their company.
But Du Fu's answer surprised him a little.
"Professor Lu, I want you to help me see a patient."
"Hmm?" Lu Chen was stunned, "See a patient?"
"Yes." Du Fu nodded, "The patient is my father, currently hospitalized in the cardiology department. If you can cure my father, or at least find the cause of the disease, then I will overcome all difficulties and convince the board of directors to cooperate with your Fifth Hospital of Shanghai to jointly develop a transcatheter tricuspid valve repair system."
On the side, Zou Wei frowned and said, "Mr. Du, I thought you were sincere!"
"You actually took this kind of thing As a condition? "
"If your father has been in the First Hospital of Shanghai for so many days and the cause of his illness has not been found, can Professor Lu find the cause as soon as he comes?"
"I..." Du Fu sighed slightly, "There is nothing I can do. And this is not a condition. There are many elders on the board of directors of the company, and most of them listen to my father. Even if I want to force cooperation with you, they will not take the risk to agree. Unless, Professor Lu, you can really find the cause of my father's illness, or make his condition less severe, I think the board of directors will definitely agree to cooperate. "
Lu Chen smiled when he heard this.
"Mr. Du, you said it yourself, this is not a condition."
He turned his head and glanced at Du Fu, "I also want to say that whether you cooperate with us or not, as long as I encounter patients in difficulty, I will go to see them. "
