Know about this guy?
His name is Stan Larkin
Stan lived for 555 days without heart.He wore an 'artificial heart' in a backpack 24 x 7 for 555 days which pumped blood around his body and kept him alive.
The success of the procedure suggests that the device could be used to sustain other patients with total heart failure while they're waiting for a donor. Back in 2014, Stan became the first patient in Michigan to be discharged with the artificial heart device, which is known as a 'Syncardia'.
