BBC NEWS | UK | England | Leicestershire | Pioneering heart surgery trialled: "Dr Jan Kovac, consultant cardiologist at Glenfield Hospital, said: 'In the past, patients had to endure open heart surgery and would have been in hospital for at least a week after their operation.
'This new catheter treatment is much quicker and in most cases patients will be back home within a few days of having the operation.
'This technique is the biggest invention in cardiology over the last 30 years since the introduction of the coronary angioplasty.'"
