Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. Forward-looking: Approximately five percent of adults listed for a heart transplant in the US die each year while waiting for a suitable donor heart. One of these patients, however, beat the odds by participating in an FDA Early Feasibility Study for an artificial heart created by the medical device company BiVACOR. Implanted with this total artificial heart – a new device that looks nothing like earlier generations of artificial hearts – the patient was able to survive eight days until a transplant. The company hopes its device can be approved for long-term use one day.
