Researchers at the University of Bristol funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) have developed 'stem cell plasters' to revolutionize the way surgeons treat children living with congenital heart disease, so they don't need as many open-heart operations.

In what may be the first of its kind research, a heart surgeon says that he might have saved the life of a baby using stem cells from the placenta to repair a heart condition. The procedure took place in the United Kingdom where a now two-year-old boy Finley was treated using the “allogenic” cells, grown by scientists at the Royal Free Hospital in London. 

A heart surgeon from the British Heart Foundation gave a baby boy a chance at life thanks to a world first operation using stem cells from placentas.
