Craig Lewis



In March last year, 55-year-old Craig Lewis (Craig Lewis) died of heart failure caused by the formation in the tissues of the body of specific proteins, and even install a pacemaker could not save his life. But two doctors from the "Texas Heart Institute of Surgery» (Texas Heart Institute) developed a revolutionary solution to this problem is to install the device "continuous flow", allows the blood to circulate through the body, even in the absence of pulsa.

Dr. Billy Cohn (Billy Cohn) and Dr. Bud Frazier (Bud Frazier) removed the heart of Craig to replace it in the chest this device. Already the day after the operation, the patient regained consciousness and told his rescuers that wonderful feeling. Doctors told me that before installing your device in a living person, they spent more than 50 successful tests on calves. They removed the hearts of animals, and the next day they did all that and usually - eating, sleeping, move normally, but drove the blood through their veins are no longer the pulse of the heart muscle, and the device of "continuous flow". "If you listen to the chest of the experimental calves with a stethoscope, you will not hear a heartbeat, - said Dr. Cohn. - And if you connect them to the ECG machine, the screen we see a straight line states the death ".

Amyloidosis Mr. Lewis has progressed so rapidly that in March 2011, his doctor told him that unless a miracle happens, he will die in 12 hours. Therefore, with the consent of the wife of Mr. Lewis, Linda, Dr. Cohn and Dr. Fraser installed in his chest substitute heart that has been assembled from parts, most of which were produced at home. The device operates continuously, pumping blood with special blades. "I leaned his ear to his chest and heard the buzz, it was amazing, - said the wife of the first cold-hearted, in the truest sense of the word, a man of the world. - It is exactly the same as before, but now he has no pulse ".
