London, March 28 (Ians) In a revolutionary procedure, health workers at a hospital in the UK are using smart glasses to help speed up the time for heart surgery.

The glasses enable heart staff at the Essex Cardiothoracic Centre (Ctc) at Basildon Hospital to receive real-time advice from anywhere in the world as they share a live feed from the operating theatre through a high-resolution camera on the smart glasses.

Known as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (Tavi), the procedure involves inserting a new valve via a blood vessel in the leg, that is then guided towards the beating heart by the cardiologist where they can then replace the diseased valve.

Using the smart glasses, the staff can be remotely guided by an expert from anywhere in the world, helping save time for patients and staff.

On the heels of TNT picking two drama pilots, Good Behavior and Animal Kingdom, to series, the network is clearing the decks for the next pilot cycle that will feature the young William Shakespeare pilot Will, which just cast its lead.

As part of that, TNT has opted not to proceed with its pilot Home, from writer Aron Eli Coleite, Jerry Bruckheimer TV and Warner Horizon. The thriller, about a seemingly idyllic suburban family, was originally developed by TNT and TBS President Kevin Reilly while he was at Fox. He then ordered it to pilot at TNT. The pilot now is being shopped elsewhere by Warner Horizon.

“We’re probably not pursuing it,” Reilly said. “It was actually a high-class problem we had. (Home) was actually a really good pilot; they did a really good job with it. It was just that we had filled our plate with things that I thought were pretty special.
