No matter how deformed or oddly shaped a heart was, Yan Feifan was confident that with his exquisite surgical skills and mastery of cardiac anatomy, he could reconstruct and reshape it into a normal heart.
However, he couldn't be certain if this reconstructed heart would successfully restart, or if it would function stably and long-term once it did.
This was the most difficult aspect of repairing complex heart deformities: striking the perfect balance.
If the repair was too aggressive, the heart would sustain too much trauma and simply shut down, never to beat again.
Alternatively, it might work for a brief period before the wounds ruptured catastrophically, resulting in immediate death.
But if the repair was too conservative, the heart's functional output would only improve slightly. This would merely treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, only buying the patient a little more time to linger on.
