The patient, an Australian man in his 40s, lived with his fully functional heart implant long enough to be discharged from the hospital.

This week, doctors announced that an Australian man with severe heart failure had left hospital with an artificial heart that had kept him alive until he could receive a donor heart.

In India, where heart disease is a leading cause of mortality and donor shortages persist, such technology could be revolutionary.

A 40-year-old man from Australia was given a titanium heart, which kept him alive for more than 100 days. This operation took place at St. Vincent Hospital in Sydney. Know how this heart works

An Australian man in his forties has become the first person in the world to leave hospital with an artificial heart made of titanium. The device is used as a stopgap for people with heart failure who are waiting for a donor heart, and previous recipients of this type of artificial heart had remained in US hospitals while it was in place.

In a breakthrough that researchers call an ‘unmitigated clinical success’, an artificial titanium-made heart has helped a man with heart failure get a new lease on life. The patient in his 40s survived on the device for over 100 days,

An Australian man made history by living for 100 days with an artificial titanium heart while awaiting a donor transplant, according to a March 12 report by CNN. The patient, in his 40s, underwent surgery at St Vincent's Hospital Sydney in November 2024 and reportedly became the first person worldwide to leave the hospital with the device in February.

An Australian man lived for 100 days with an artificial titanium heart while he awaited a donor transplant, the longest period to date of someone with the technology.

An Australian man lived for over 100 days with an artificial titanium heart before successfully receiving a donor transplant, marking the longest recorded survival with the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart.

For decades, replacing a failing human heart meant waiting—often desperately—for a donor. But in a hospital in Sydney, that paradigm has begun to shift. Last November, surgeons at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney implanted the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart in a critically ill patient.
