Description

Michael Mosley explores the history of heart surgery, taking a personal interest in pioneers of the practice, and learning how surgeons are able to beat the clock to successfully operate on the organ. He follows an operation on a woman with two heart defects who is cooled down until her brain stops and has all her blood sucked out before surgery can be performed, and meets a man who has no natural heartbeat
