Today, Pierre Clement is off morphine, out of his wheelchair and walking two miles every morning. What changed his life was not a heroic operation or a costly new drug but a pair of pressurized pants.

Rather than having his arteries catheterized or surgically bypassed, he spent 36 hour-long sessions strapped into a garment that works like a giant, pulsating blood-pressure cuff, painlessly forcing blood from the legs and hips into the chest....
