"Artificial robotic heart muscles keep pigs alive after heart attacks"Quote:
Tested in six pigs, which had all suffered from acute cardiac arrest, the silicone robotic device was able to restore normal blood flow to the animals and keep them alive.

Quote:
Scientists developed a soft robotic sleeve which supports heart function. Tests done in pig hearts show that the device restores acutely failing hearts to 97 percent of their original cardiac output. More research is needed before the sleeve can be implanted in humans
