Cardiac patients will soon be able to 'grow their own' heart valves and have them transplanted within weeks of seeing a doctor.

The groundbreaking treatment, developed by British surgeons, will create heart tissue from stem cells from the patient's body.

The technique offers hope to millions who suffer heart disease.

Scientists said the valves would not be rejected after a transplant because the tissue will have come from the patient and be genetically identical.
