New Laser Heart Surgery Speeds Recovery

The video discusses a groundbreaking heart procedure performed at the Heart Hospital in London, using a new device that allows doctors to see inside the heart with a camera and laser. This method was used to treat Scott Rosser's atrial fibrillation, a condition causing abnormal heartbeats. The procedure involves threading a device through the veins to the heart, inflating a balloon to clear blood, and using a laser to correct the heartbeat. This innovative approach offers higher accuracy, success, and safety compared to traditional methods. The video highlights the potential for this treatment to be widely adopted across the UK, benefiting over 200,000 patients with similar conditions.
