If I had a leaky valve like Josephine, I would have definitely appreciated the lessened recovery time for the alternative compared to surgery. It's cool how something much less complicated is actually better in terms of recovery time. I guess the only danger in this is the worst case scenario of the plug falling of, but they said that there is a small chance of that happening
I thought that this article was very fascinating. I believe that this technology has been around for a while because I think my grandfather was talking about it. This could easily replace heart surgery, although if the stomach were to have a small leak (probably instant death anyways), it might dissolve. If something like this ere to happen and the patient were to survive, this would be a serious problem.
I thought that it is amazing how they use a paper clip. I have to agree with Brandon. I wouldn't want to tkae months recovering.
I to found it amazing, because my friends father might of had heart surgery and he had a choice to have open heart surgery or micro surgery.(micro surgery is when they insert tiny tools through holes in your body and do the work with the micro tools). Thankfully though, he ended up not needing the surgery.
I think that is a great advancement for all medical purposes. It was obviously much more efficient than open heart surgery. It was very interesting how the doctors clipped Josephine's valve so that it stopped the blood leak. It also took much less time to recover. I think doctors should do that kind of heart surgery on all of their patients.
this article was fascinating! i never thought that a clip like that would be so effective. what i would think happened would that the clip would collapse from too much pressure from the leaky valve!
