Years ago I got a stock tip on a company "Heartport". They manufactured a kit that was used for heart bypass surgery. It was similar to arthroscopic surgery, no "cracking" the sternum so trauma to the chest was minimal with a 2-3 day hospital stay as opposed to a week or two with traditional bypass surgery. Seemed like a "win/win".
The problem was the kit was "one time" use and costs were considerable. But medical insurance would rather go with traditional surgeries since they could bargain down the cost of the hospital stay but not the costs of the disposables.
