Custom-Made for Your Heart

An innovative heart procedure developed by a Japanese doctor is attracting attention around the world. Known as the "Ozaki method", it makes it possible to reconstruct defective heart valves using a patient's own tissue. It's more cost-effective than using valves made of man-made materials or animal tissue, and patients don't need to worry about additional surgery to replace worn valves or take special medication. The procedure has saved many lives, including children's.
