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.

The patient, a man in his 40s who declined to be identified, received the implant during surgery at St. Vincent’s Hospital Sydney last November.

In February, he became the first person worldwide to leave hospital with the device, which kept him alive until a heart donor became available earlier this month.

Soon will be able to ask the ai to replace our hearts with 3d printed custom fifteen valve versions with multiple different modes all controllable thru a bluetooth connection to a phone app which google will monopolize then uncaringly make obsolete in their yearly nonbackwards compatible android update that destroys over 26,000 apps people worked hard on and put effort in to.
