1957- At Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Kolff and Dr. Tetsuzo Akutsu bring the concept of an artificial heart to reality through a series of animal implants; a dog survives for  90 minutes.
1973-  Calf "Tony" lives 30 days on an early Kolff Total Artificial Heart.
1998- La Pitie Hospital in Paris performs its 100th implant of the Total Artificial Heart.
2004- The CardioWest becomes the world's first and only FDA-approved Total Artificial Heart. While originally used as a permanent replacement heart, the Total Artificial Heart is approved for use as a bridge to transplant in cardiac transplant-eligible candidates at risk of imminent death from biventricular failure.
2013- At 74 years old, Bob Phillips becomes the oldest Total Artificial Heart patient to leave the hospital using the Freedom® portable driver when he is discharged from Penn State Hershey Medical Center.]]> 2016-09-21 19:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hayliecasanova/437vcfuz0zne/wish/125540201 hayliecasanova https://padlet.com/hayliecasanova/437vcfuz0zne/wish/125545072 In Carmat’s design, two chambers are each divided by a membrane that holds hydraulic fluid on one side. A motorized pump moves hydraulic fluid in and out of the chambers, and that fluid causes the membrane to move; blood flows through the other side of each membrane. The blood-facing side of the membrane is made of tissue obtained from a sac that surrounds a cow’s heart, to make the device more biocompatible.]]> 2016-09-21 19:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hayliecasanova/437vcfuz0zne/wish/125545072 hayliecasanova https://padlet.com/hayliecasanova/437vcfuz0zne/wish/125840132 - People who need heart transplants can benefit from a Total Artificial Heart.
- If your life expectancy is less than 30 days and you're not eligible for a heart transplant, a TAH may extend your life beyond the expected 30 days.
- A TAH is a "last resort" device. This means only people who have tried every other type of treatment, except heart transplant, can get it.]]> 2016-09-22 18:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hayliecasanova/437vcfuz0zne/wish/125840132 hayliecasanova https://padlet.com/hayliecasanova/437vcfuz0zne/wish/125841815 Estimates of the cost of the artificial heart include charges for the surgical procedure, device and console, and continuing medical surveillance. These estimates range from a low of $100,000 to a high of $300,000 per patient in the initial year.]]> 2016-09-22 18:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hayliecasanova/437vcfuz0zne/wish/125841815 hayliecasanova https://padlet.com/hayliecasanova/437vcfuz0zne/wish/125842581 Blood Clots
