You afraid someone will track your registered alias to your real name, then your real name to your address. Then beat the mother fucking shit out of you? Or better yet, pay someone from the hood to fuck you up royally and leave you in the gutter?

    FDA Cleared or FDA Approved?

    Looks like this was all done in the UK, with UK funding and intentions of testing it in the UK. So likely neither.

    Were you by chance just watching Last Week Tonight: Medical Devices [youtube.com] with John Oliver?

    Something this new will not be FDA cleared. Nobody could claim this is completely equivalent to another approved product. It will not be FDA approved until after successful human trials.

  I guess they also need to make a bypass to it. Muscle is dead for a reason – there’s not enough blood flow. Putting more muscle there without taking care of the blocked artery is just going to ensure the new muscle dies too.

    Of course the artery is unclogged first. This is a repair after saving the patient first. The heart will be weakened until it is repaired. This technique does the latter.

    I would venture that this isnâ(TM)t done intravenously (like a stent or angioplasty) and would require open heart surgery to apply.

        They can print arteries now with a 3D printer. Soon it will be a complete arterial replacement…

  Headline: “‘Pumping Heart Patch’ Ready For Human Use”

  From TFS:”Patient trials should start in the next two years” (emphasis mine).

  How the hell is trials starting in the next two years equal to “ready for human use”???
