Abstract
Progress in materials and design of a total artificial heart has lengthened survival times from 1(1/2) hours in 1958 to 3 months in 1974. During those years various limiting factors were found and analyzed. Remaining limitations encountered in a 3-month survivor were localized thrombosis within the blood chambers and infection along drive lines into the mediastinum.Entities:
