Meanwhile, cardiologists at Rush University, Indiana, are beginning a trial that uses a Gore-Tex-type material to plug holes in human hearts. The flexible Gore-Helex fabric is threaded up to the patient's heart via a leg artery to seal the hole and prevent potentially fatal circulatory failures. The Indiana trial will be one of 50 worldwide.
Breast radar
A RADAR-based testing system that uses military technology to make the process quicker and more comfortable than current mamograms has completed trials on its first 60 women.
Bristol University and the United Bristol Hospitals Trust hope to continue testing their new system over the next 12 months. It uses ceramic cups to hold the breasts and to receive radar waves that are pulsed through them. The radar was originally developed to detect landmines.
Roy Johnson, who heads Micrima, the university spin-off company developing the system, says he hopes two more prototype systems will soon begin work in NHS hospitals around the UK.
