Australian man leaves hospital with a titanium total artificial heart in a world first
An Australian man with severe heart failure became the first person in the world to be discharged from hospital with BiVACOR’s Total Artificial Heart, the researchers and doctors announced on Wednesday, March 12.
The six-hour surgery took place in late November 2024 at St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney and the 40-year-old patient was then discharged with the BiVACOR total artificial heart in early February.
The BiVACOR ‘Total Artificial Heart’ was invented by Australian scientist Dr. Daniel Timms and is the world’s first titanium implantable device that can act as a complete replacement for the human heart, replicating both sides of the organ.
