Still Waters Posted August 8 #1 Share Posted August 8 A human has successfully received a titanium heart for the first time in medical history. The transformative technology provides a bridge-to-heart-transplant solution for patients with severe conditions until a donor heart becomes available. The titanium heart uses magnetic levitation, or maglev, technology, similar to that used in high-speed trains. The Texas Heart Institute (THI) and BiVACOR, a clinical-stage medical device company, announced the first-in-human implantation of the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart (TAH) on Thursday, July 25 2024. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/human-receives-titanium-heart-first-150000285.html 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyver Posted August 8 #2 Share Posted August 8 That is amazing! Going through airports is not going to be fun, but it’s better than being dead, so…big win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
