The surgery started quickly. Besides Jeffrey Foster and Irene Wallis, there were several top domestic cardiovascular surgeons. Abigail recognized them but couldn't recall their names.
They stood on the second floor, clearly viewing the surgical process. Nearby, a live broadcast allowed them to observe the surgery's details.
After settling in her seat, Abigail picked up the patient's file. It was a 23-year-old boy who had a heart injury after a car accident two years ago. Despite multiple surgeries, his heart began to fail and he couldn't find a suitable donor, leading to end-stage heart failure. His family sought help from Jeffrey Foster and decided on a total artificial heart transplant.
However, with the current medical technology, there were many flaws with total artificial heart transplants: infection, bleeding, thrombosis, and biological tissue compatibility, all of which affected the surgery's success rate and post-operative outcomes.
