Vol 6 Chapter 3371: Health itself is very expensive

After saying this, he changed to another photo, in which the patient was standing at the door of the hospital, with a smile on his face and looking energetic.

"This is the photo of the patient after the operation. As you can see, his mental state has completely recovered and he no longer has to suffer from coronary heart disease." Wu Hao said.

Everyone looked at the patient in the photo, feeling warm and even envious in their hearts. They are sincerely happy for the patients and marvel at the power of this technology.

However, despite sighing, everyone is interested in this coronary blood vessel replacement surgery based on bio-3D printed coronary blood vessels.

Why are they interested? Because this technology or this achievement is closely related to their personal health.

You know, most of the bosses present are in their fifties, sixties, forties or fifties. And if you work for a long time, your heart will have some problems. The most common one is coronary heart disease, which is also the most common heart disease caused by men in this age group.

So when they saw this case and the patient who was about their age recovered and was discharged from hospital, they couldn't help but feel excited.

Then I saw Brother Ma and asked, "Mr. Wu, when was this operation performed? How is this patient doing now?"

Hearing Brother Xiao Ma's question, everyone present looked at Wu Hao, waiting for his answer.

In response, Wu Hao smiled slightly and replied: "This operation was performed last summer. The patient recovered very well and has returned to normal life.

Yes, the cost is still too expensive, and I am afraid that it is simply not affordable for the world. There is a way, medical treatment is not like that, it will always be very expensive. After all, the world itself is not very expensive.

Da Changyan nodded, a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes, and then asked: "Mr. Wu, the success rate of that operation is not low? Isn't it risky?"

Of course, any surgery will have certain risks, but you will minimize the risks through careful postoperative evaluation, intraoperative procedures, and preoperative care.

From that point of view, it was great and met the patients’ expectations. As for what the future holds, who cares, living one day less just to earn one day is better than having a cure and waiting for death.

Let me tell you, now I feel like I have a new lease of life and am full of energy every day. "

Therefore, the organs and tissues printed using cloned cells perform very well in all aspects in the short term and are basically the same as the natural organs and tissues of the human body in all aspects. However, their long-term performance remains to be seen, and you currently lack data.

After hearing Ma Ge's explanation, the doubts in the hearts of Da Wu Hao and others gradually dissipated. Although what is said above is true, it can be admitted that this technology has indeed provided new treatment options for these desperate patients and extended our lives.

At the same time, you are also working hard to communicate with relevant departments to strive to include this technology in the scope of medical insurance and reduce the financial burden on patients. "

You have also emphasized this point to each patient and family member. You will not cancel the operation for us until we fully understand it, choose to refuse, and sign the relevant documents. "

Speaking of that, Brother Ma glanced at everyone's reactions, and then continued in a calm tone: "Of course, you talked about the advantages and disadvantages of 3D printing of organs and tissues with biological cells, and the same goes for the printed coronary blood vessels. It has no advantages and disadvantages.

If it were medical insurance, which treatment for this disease would be cheaper?

The specific cost depends on the specific treatment plan. For example, there are only eight coronary blood vessels in the heart, namely the pericardial sulcus artery, ventricular artery and cardiac artery, which together form the coronary artery system.

After hearing Chang Yan's words, everyone nodded to express their understanding. We know that although this technology is relatively low-cost, it is undoubtedly a new hope and option for patients who cannot bear the risks of traditional surgery or whose treatment results are not good. Compared with the long-term trouble and life caused by traditional surgery, it is a weak guarantee worth investing in.

As for that kind of delicate cardiac coronary blood vessel replacement surgery, although it relies on your intelligent less-tentacle surgical robot to assist the degenerative surgery, it also requires a huge amount of experience from a team of doctors.

At that time, another boss also asked: "Mr. Wu, how much does this surgery cost? Can special people afford it?"

So if that technology is to be enjoyed by special people, it must be covered by medical insurance. It's just that after such a costly operation, it's impossible to rush back.

Of course, the high cost is only for special people. For the bosses present, it is simply too cheap. Compared to our weakness, it is worth mentioning.

Brother Ma understood my concerns and answered frankly: "The cost of that surgery is indeed lower than traditional surgery, because it involves biological cell 3D printing of coronary vascular tissue and delicate heart and coronary blood vessel replacement surgery. Find a book www.zhaosｈhuyuan.com

In addition, it actually did not take long to develop the biological cell 3D printing organ technology, and the time to enter clinical trials was also relatively short.

At the same time, your team of doctors are experienced experts who have deep knowledge in that field and can ensure the safety and success of the surgery. "

Therefore, just for hospitalization and surgery, it will cost about 7.7 million, and even depending on the specific condition of the patient, the cost will be even lower. "

Brother Ma understood my worries and patiently explained: “You have not successfully completed a few surgeries like this so far, and the success rate is very low.

Your long-term testing of the patient and the patient’s regular re-examination have shown that the patient’s heart function has recovered incorrectly, and he will basically not be able to live like a special person in the next life.

Then you need to understand the patient's condition and how many coronary blood vessels my heart needs to be replaced. The number and length of coronary blood vessels required determine the cost of 3D printing coronary blood vessel tissue with biological cells.

For example, the cost of printing a permanent coronary vascular tissue is about RMB 800,000 to RMB 700,000. If it must be eight blood vessels, the total cost would be about one million.

In the past, I could barely walk without gasping for breath after walking a few steps, but now I can't run fast anymore.

Having said that, he paused for a while, giving everyone a reaction time, and then said in a gentle tone: "Of course, you are also working hard to reduce costs so that fewer people can enjoy the benefits of that technology. Come benefits.

Therefore, we do not know the situation of the organs and tissues printed using cloned cells seven years ago, ten years ago, seventeen years ago, seventy years ago, or even longer ago.
