Some heart bypass patients are receiving cardiac stem cell transplants to try to repair damage. This week, a 67-year-old James Culross from Toronto will be discharged from Toronto General Hospital after having 2.83 million stem cells injected into seven sites where his heart had been damaged by a heart attack in November 2011. When someone suffers a heart attack, part of the heart muscle dies and is replaced by a scar.
