1982年12月2日,在美国盐湖城由Willem Kolff领导的犹它大学人工脏器部,一群外科医生用铝和聚氨酯为材料制成的人工心脏置换了61岁的牙科医生Barney Clark的心脏。这一人工心脏是Willem Kolff领导下的一员年青研究者Robert Jarvik设计制造的,因而被命名为Jarvik-7型人工心脏。在植入人体前,已将此人工心脏在动物身上作了试验。1979年,此器械植入一条Fumi Joe小牛体内,小牛存活了221天。本文发表时,Clark胸腔内的Jarvik-7型人工心脏已跳动了六周以上。 25年以来可以说是日以继夜的研制工作,取得了辉煌的成绩,证实人类能够用全
On December 2, 1982, a group of surgeons surgically replaced the heart of Barney Clark, a 61-year-old dentist with an artificial heart made of aluminum and polyurethane in the Department of Artificial Organs, University of Utah, led by Willem Kolff in Salt Lake City. The artificial heart was designed and manufactured by Robert Jarvik, a young researcher under the leadership of Willem Kolff, and was named Jarvik-7 Artificial Heart. This artificial heart has been tested on animals before being implanted in the human body. In 1979, the device was implanted in a Fumi Joe calf and the calves survived for 221 days. At the time of publication, the Jarvik-7 artificial heart within the chest of Clark had beaten more than six weeks. Over the past 25 years, it can be said that the development work day and night has achieved brilliant results, confirming that human beings can use the whole
