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.

    Wait, I though the man survived a record 100 days and then got a normal heart. Is this the same guy or a different one?

      I think the guy that had it for 100 days went back to being the science officer.
