Australian man successfully receives titanium heart after 6-hour operation
www.abc.net.au
A New South Wales man with heart failure lived with the artificial heart for over 100 days while waiting to be matched with a heart donor.

In short:

A mechanical heart has been implanted in a New South Wales man who was experiencing severe heart failure.

He has become the first person in the world to be discharged from hospital with the titanium heart.

What’s next?

Doctors say the invention will likely be an alternative for donor heart transplants in the future.
