Breakthrough Heartening Experience on NBC
NBC aired a four-part segment showing life saving heart surgeries across the United States. A Washington woman received a plastic heart valve replacement using a heart-lung machine, a Houston patient had a neck artery cleaned and patched, a Minneapolis man received an implanted transistor powered heart battery, and a San Francisco boy had a congenital heart hole closed. Dr. Swan narrated, translating terms for viewers as each patient recovered, including the football playing boy.
