The International Space Station, outside the window is the vast universe, and the background of the earth looks magnificent and magnificent.

"Susan, I can go back, can I?" The only person Steven could turn to was Susan.

As for these robotic arms, as well as the doctors who are far away on Earth, he has no confidence at all.

The doctors had never met him or had a face-to-face relationship with him, and Steven had no confidence that he would have to rely on a few cold robotic arms to save his life.

The loneliness and oppression brought about by being away from the earth and the enclosed space magnified Steven's inner fear and despair.

Even though Steven has undergone rigorous psychological anti-stress training, in the face of death, anyone can collapse.

"Yes, God has not abandoned you, we have invited Dr. Yang Ping, a genius surgeon, he will definitely save you."

"He is a teacher of Mayo Professor of Neurosurgery Johannathan, he has successfully performed more difficult surgeries than you, and now that there are dozens of satellites supporting our communications, Dr. Yang will definitely be able to complete your surgery successfully." Susan constantly encourages to dispel Steven's fears.

"He is a messenger sent by God, believe me, Steven, and I tell you a secret, when I was a doctor, no patient ever left in my hands, once in the emergency department, a patient had cardiac and respiratory arrest, had given up resuscitation, but I believed, she did not die, a few hours later, she actually came back to life, which was later considered Lazarus syndrome, and came back from the dead, and there were only 53 cases reported in the world, do you know how lucky I am? You're lucky to meet me. Susan's mysterious tone.

"Is this true?"

"Of course it's true, you see, how easy I am now, I know that your surgery will be successful, so don't worry about it at all."

"Wait a minute, just need local anesthesia, Dr. Yang will use a robotic arm to stuff a tiny spring coil into your brain blood vessels, it will make the aneurysm embolize and form a blood clot, so that the aneurysm will no longer accept the impact of blood flow, naturally there is no possibility of bursting, and you will be safe and sound."

"It's that simple?"

"In the hands of Dr. Yang, it's as simple as that, he's already left the United States on a plane, and we've worked hard to get his plane back from the North Pole, and you say how lucky you are. At that time, people were worried that they would not be able to get Dr. Yang, but I knew that they would be able to do so. ”

Under Susan's intentional or unintentional psychological guidance, Steven grasped a little confidence, and the fear and anxiety in his heart were slightly reduced, and he was able to calm down and cooperate with the operation.

Steven's clothes were taken off, and the plate restraints were checked again, especially the fixation of the head, so that there could be no sloppiness.

The perineal skin preparation (shaving) was omitted, and Susan covered the entire perineum and anal area with a medical protective film, and then began to disinfect with sterile gloves. Up to the navel, down to both thighs, and the entire perineum is also disinfected.

Steven's wife and daughter stood by the windowsill of the house, and they could not help except pray.

They alternated using astronomical telescopes to catch the space station flying overhead.

"I saw it, I saw it!" Lin Kell screamed.

Steven's wife leaned over, and in the clear night sky, the outline of the International Space Station clearly appeared in the telescope.

On that far-flung spaceship, the husband will undergo a life-saving operation.

Since the first spacecraft was launched into space in 1971, the ISS has become a supergiant with a width of 109 meters, a length of 73 meters, a height of 20 meters, a weight of 419 tons, and an internal volume of 916 cubic meters, equivalent to a small seven-story stadium.

Not only Steven's wife and daughter, but also many astronomy enthusiasts, who were capturing the International Space Station at this time, knew that there was an astronaut on it who was going to undergo surgery today.

The attention of the entire United States is drawn to the International Space Station, and the topic is being discussed in online newspapers and television.

Covered with a sticky sterile sheet, Susan stood aside, wearing a special disposable surgical gown and gloves, and she was only responsible for the replacement of the instruments at the end of the robotic arm.

Interventional surgery, in simple terms, uses vascular access to puncture from a certain part of the blood vessel, and uses a catheter guidewire to enter along the vascular tube to deliver therapeutic drugs and instruments to a certain part of the blood vessel.

The entire vascular system of the human body is like a road transportation system on the surface, and intervention is to start from a certain station and follow a predetermined route to deliver therapeutic drugs and devices to their destination.

It has become one of the three major medical treatment methods alongside internal medicine and surgery, and like any treatment method, it is not a panacea, it has its own limitations, its operation is the use of vascular duct system, once the treatment of the disease can not use the vascular duct system to complete the treatment, intervention can not play a role.

The right femoral artery puncture is completed, punctured, the needle core is withdrawn, and the guidewire is inserted.

The instrument is on the robotic arm, as if it is in Yang Ping's own hands, without a trace of sluggishness and rustiness.

Femoral artery, external iliac artery, aorta, brachiocephalic trunk, subclavian artery, vertebral artery, basilar artery, guidewire all the way to the gallop.

At each bifurcation point, the guidewire slows down and then crosses the bifurcation with precision in one pass to the next target vessel.

The robotic arm is an extension of Yang Ping's hand, which is a real man-machine integration.

Every action can be accurately deduced with a robotic arm, this kind of proficiency, except for Yang Ping, no one can do it, which is the confidence that he dares to use the remote surgical system to complete such a difficult and high-risk interventional operation.

As long as there is no failure in communication, no too much delay and interruption, he can complete the operation without any problems.

The guidewire continues to move forward, the blood vessels become thinner and thinner, the tip of the guidewire seems to be able to accept Yang Ping's mind control, and move forward dexterously, the further forward, the thinner the blood vessels, the higher the risk, the lower the fault tolerance rate, and the slightest carelessness will puncture the blood vessels, resulting in death.

After the guidewire enters the skull, it is explored in complex and tortuous blood vessels, and the angiography is distributed in a reticulated pattern, and each area is a complex world, and every superselection cannot be mistaken, especially into the brainstem region.

The blood vessels are getting thinner and thinner, and the space for the guidewire to move is getting smaller and smaller.

This was the reason why Massimo felt that the operation could not be done with the existing instruments, and he suggested that new instruments be sent in, but it was too late.

In the hall of the control center, the experts of the medical team stared at the screen, the guide wire carefully advancing in the veins, faster than expected, and the worst thing was that he could actually cope with the occasional slight stuttering.

Every time there is a stutter, it stops immediately and stays in the center of the vessel, which is the safest, and after the stuck, the guidewire continues to move forward.

"How's the weather monitoring?" Jim Bassa asked Richard.

Rain, especially heavy rain, can seriously affect the transmission of satellite radio signals.

"Everything is fine, don't worry, if there is a warning of rain, they will use artificial rain removal technology. It's just that our communications are always under attack of some kind of unknown, and Symantec says it can handle it. "Richard is in charge of all the physical and technical safeguards.

"It's amazing, how can his guidewire be so flexible and precise."

This is a remote control operation with a robotic arm, and before that, Yang Ping was not familiar with this remote surgical equipment.

Massimo's face was flushed, and he was talking to himself in amazement.

"yes, that's great! Incredible! ”

Johannathan had come out of the "safe house" and sat down next to Massimo.

If it weren't for Johannathan's list, he would have thought that the guidewire was a nanotechnology-made robot, with the tip of artificial intelligence capable of self-navigation.

"I'm going to go into the innominate artery network and check the equipment, and the process takes at least 30 minutes, and there can be no interference with the whole process."

If the matching instruments are used, Yang Ping can operate faster, but now the size of this set of instruments is too large, very reluctant, if it enters the final target blood vessel, it may just be accommodated by the blood vessel, and there is no room for error.

"The space station is moving!"

Almost at the same time, Yang Ping manipulated the robotic arm to control the guidewire to change state as it moved, in order to mitigate the risks caused by movement.

The guidewire actively moves in the direction of the sudden change and begins to retreat from the inside, successfully exiting the guidewire without damage.

"He can do whatever he wants with the guidewire." Massimo saw the operation in theory.

Johanneson told Massimo: "Dr. Yang was originally an orthopaedic surgeon and his area of expertise was surgery, and intervention was just his amateur field. ”

Instantly killed by his amateur skills!

Massimo, the genius of intervention, felt inexplicably ashamed and could not accept the facts.

However, in Yang Ping's hands, the guidewire is like having a soul, just like Yang Ping's pet, at his command.

"Any instrument is Dr. Yang's pet, once in his hands, it's simply - I don't know how to describe it, Massimo, you haven't seen his last operation, chordoma of the upper cervical spine and medulla, amazing, I have seen with my own eyes, the impossible operation is forced to be successful, exciting."

The amplitude of the movement is increasing, but the guidewire returns the same way ahead of schedule, crossing numerous bifurcations, withdrawing from the vessel, and avoiding accidents.

Waiting for the next opportunity, this is the best and only way.

The operation was aborted, and Susan pressed to stop the bleeding.

"Find the reason, quick!" Richard saw the data coming back from the external camera, which was someone turning on the space station's thrusters.

Based on the direction of movement, Richard immediately judged that there was something wrong with the Japanese cabin.

"Pig's head!" Richard scolded.

"Check the Japanese cabin, what the hell are they doing." Richard yelled.
