Scientists successfully transplant mechanical heart into human for the first time

August 1, 2024

Scientists have transplanted a mechanical heart into a human for the first time - it operates without valves and is made of titanium. The titanium heart weighs little, hardly wears out, and pumps up to 12 liters of blood per minute, allowing the patient to even engage in sports. The solution is temporary - the engine is installed while the patient waits for a full donor heart.
