Artificial Heart Keeps Patient Alive for 100 Days

An Australian man has set a medical milestone by living for 100 days with an artificial titanium heart while waiting for a transplant. The breakthrough device, developed by BiVACOR, sustained him through heart failure until a donor organ became available earlier this month. The innovative Total Artificial Heart (TAH) replaces both ventricles with a single, magnetically levitated rotor, offering a new lifeline for patients in need.

This marks the longest time anyone has lived with the technology, proving its potential as a long-term solution for heart failure patients. The man, now recovering well, became the first in the world to be discharged from the hospital with the device, showcasing its reliability outside of a clinical setting. Experts believe this could revolutionize heart transplants by giving more patients a second chance while waiting for donors.

With further trials underway, researchers hope the BiVACOR heart will soon become a widely available alternative for those facing life-threatening heart conditions.
