after the Haysom murders in 1985.
Anderson says one of the men dropped a knife in his patrol car, a knife that
experts say could have been the murder weapon.

It's called "Minimally-invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass"-- that's
Mid-Cab, for short-- and it is less invasive than standard bypass surgery.
Bypasses are performed to get around blockages in the coronary arteries and
restore blood flow to the heart muscle.
But with this new procedure, instead of opening the chest, the surgeon
makes a much smaller incision in the patient's side....and there's no need to
be hooked to a heart-lung machine, as is the case with the standard operation.
Instead, the heart continues to beat on its own throughout the procedure.
