During a routine physical, 22-year-old ROTC midshipman Mike Vika learned he had hole in his heart. Using cutting edge technology and experience gained as an Army combat surgeon, Temple's T. Sloane Guy manned a robot and went inside to repair Vika's heart through a series of small holes. The procedure was actually "started with a military trauma research project, funded by the military and by NASA," Guy said. The hope is that the repair will not only save Vika's life but also his dream of becoming a Navy pilot.
