A grandad has become the first Brit to undergo pioneering surgery to keep blood flowing through his heart.
The operation was guided by a hair-thin fibre optic cable threaded all the way up through an artery from his groin and could eventually help thousands of men at risk of fatal aneurysms.
Retired printing company owner Kevin Dowd saw surgeons use the tiny camera to remotely repair a potentially deadly aneurysm inside his aorta high in his chest cavity.
