Artificial Heart Beats Ahead of Schedule in Patient at St Luke's
A 47-year-old man in Houston received a synthetic heart in a three hour operation by Dr. Denton Cooley at St. Luke's hospital. The device fully took over pumping blood and storing blood inside the body, with the patient awake and stable nearly 21 hours after surgery. Cooley hopes to replace the device with a human donor heart when available, noting the breakthrough reduces early risks through improved linings and valves.
