In Texas, doctors successfully implanted a mechanical heart in a human for the first time. The patient had terminal heart failure. Fortunately, he was saved by implanting the "BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart" - a biventricular rotary blood pump made of titanium. Now the patient can be considered the first official cyborg!

Що за маячня? Штучне механічне серце вперше встановили Барні Кларку у 1982 році. Він прожив з ним 112 днів.
За весь час, механічні серця імплантували 18,5 тисячам осіб.
