Answer to Question 1

In 2011, minimally invasive heart surgery was in clinical trials at 40 sites in the United States. Traditionally, surgery to replace a heart valve required the surgeon to split the breastbone and put the patient on a heart-and-lung machine. In minimally invasive heart surgery for valve replacement, a catheter is inserted into the femoral artery. Then a device called a CoreValvemade of a special alloy and heart material from a pigis threaded through the blood vessels to the aortic valve using X-ray guidance. Once implanted, it expand and becomes an entirely new gateway. If approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, this procedure would help people who have aortic stenosis (where the aortic valve does not open correctly) but who are too sick for the traditional open heart surgery. In Europe, the CoreValve has been approved; 15,000 people have had the surgery.

Answer to Question 2

A
