5th time to this country in past 8 years as a moderator at China Valve (after a 3 yr hiatus because of COVID), but each time they have grown and locals are more and more energetic. These young kids working hard at 1-2am, focused and smiling; they have the WANT!!! Everyone excited to improve themselves. Their energy is infectious.
They went from 2000 to 1.4 million pci/yr in a period of 20 yrs
Over 5 yrs, they have gone from none to 8000 tavrs last year.
And then a plethora of structural procedures.
Growth in Structural Heart is exponential!!
