The Total Artificial Heart

AACN Advanced Critical Care, 1991
In the early 1800s, an awareness of potential ventricular failure stimulated interest in artificial heart replacement. In 1937 the first total artificial heart (TAH) was implanted into the chest of a dog by Russian physicians. The primary driving force for mechanical cardiac assistance developed from the necessity for circulatory assistance in order to

The Artificial Heart Juggernaut

The Hastings Center Report, 1989
The Artificial Heart Juggernaut In May 1985 a panel of experts urged the National Institutes of Health to resume funding to develop a totally implantable permanent artificial heart: Fully implantable ventricular assist systems, in which an auxiliary pump takes over the function of the diseased ventricle, may be beneficial for some patients; for other ...

Artificial hearts. Permanent and temporary

Health Policy, 1986
A little more than three years ago, at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Dr. William DeVries implanted a Jarvik-7 artificial heart in a 61-year-old patient named Barney Clark. The patient lived 112 days with the device before succumbing to renal failure, infection, and pseudomembranous colitis.1 His stormy clinical course had been marked by ...

On the Way to the Artificial Heart

German Research, 2012
AbstractArtificial heart systems — the demand is huge, development is difficult: How applied medical technology is attempting to find new solutions. The role played by mechanical/hydraulic models is as important as innovative software simulation.

Total Artificial Heart [PDF]

open access: possible, 2013
Given the shortage of organ donors and lack of biologic alternatives, mechanical circulatory support is gaining importance both as a bridge-to-transplantation and as destination therapy. In the majority of patients, a left ventricular assist device alone is sufficient, but some require long-term biventricular support. For those, implantation of a total

Implantable Artificial Hearts

1989
While recent progress in heart transplantation has been remarkable, the shortage of donor hearts has become a serious problem in many countries. One solution to this problem is the totally implantable artificial cardiac prosthesis. For such a prosthesis various kinds of implantable artificial hearts have been proposed [1–3].

The Permanent Artificial Heart

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1988
To the Editor.— I read with interest the Feb 12 issue of JAMA on the artificial heart. As a psychiatrist, I was disappointed that there was no information on the emotional and psychiatric state of the patients or their families. Nowhere did I see a discussion of the quality of life achieved by these patients or what quality, at what sacrifice, might ...
