Watch-Spring Heart Valve Saves Detroit Mother of Five
A Detroit mother of five, once given six months to live, now leads a near normal life after doctors replaced a leaky mitral valve with a metal spring valve developed by Wayne State University doctors and Elgin National Watch Co. The diamond shaped valve, about the size of a penny, uses a nylon web to open and close with each heartbeat, and is predicted to last 300 years.
