Description
Swedish prosecutors say disgraced Italian surgeon Paolo Macchiarini did not follow "scientifically proven experience" when he replaced sick patients' tracheas with synthetic ones. Macchiarini won praise in 2011 after claiming to have performed the world's first synthetic trachea transplants using stem cells while he was a surgeon at Stockholm's Karolinska Institute. But allegations soon emerged that the risky procedure had been carried out on at least one person who had not been critically ill at the time of the operation. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
