Imagine living with a titanium heart—sounds like sci-fi, but one Aussie just did it for over 100 days! He’s the first person to survive this long with BiVACOR, a lightweight artificial heart powered by a magnetically levitated rotor. It pumped blood just like the real thing, keeping him alive until a transplant. This could be a lifeline for millions.
Developed by an Australian engineer, BiVACOR has been in the works for years, aiming to solve the donor heart shortage.
“This technology has the potential to save countless lives by providing a permanent alternative to donor hearts,” said a BiVACOR spokesperson.
Social media is buzzing, with one cardiologist tweeting, “This is the future of heart transplants—absolutely revolutionary!”
Could this mean no more waiting lists for heart patients? Imagine a world where artificial hearts are as common as pacemakers. What do you think—hope for millions or a step too far?
