The start-up was called Vascular Science, Inc. They were working on development of suture-free devices to facilitate coronary artery bypass graft anastomoses. The device and process had fda approval. They were bought by St. Jude.
For the record, i don't care if you think my story means crap or not- i've not known you to be the type to allow reality to change your mind anyway (at least as far as i know you- which isn't all that far). The fact that you may or may not find it credible is irrelevant to the fact that it is indeed possible, and not something a "free market" would necessarily prevent, or even discourage. If you don't think that it is possible for market forces to hinder improved medical procedures or devices then you are naive.
