Doctors perform heart repair without anesthesia in historic case
At Ochsner Foundation Hospital in New Orleans a 17-year-old girl received a steel and dacron umbrella device via catheter to seal a hole in her heart, avoiding open-heart surgery. Surgeons Dr. Terry King and Dr. Noel Mills led a 90 minute procedure that implanted two umbrellas through the femoral vein to close the defect, potentially eliminating the need for surgery in similar cases.
