Professor Alexander Seifalian of University College London has developed an articial artery using nanotechnology.
"[The] new device is made from a polymer flexible enough to pulse like a normal blood vessel," according to ZeeNews. "Inside, it has a revolutionary coating of millions of tiny spikes, each thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair."
"Aside from holding back clots, using an artificial artery means heart patients would not have to undergo a second operation for doctors to obtain a vein to use for the bypass," according to UPI.
