Craig Lewis
In March last year, 55-year-old 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" 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 a pulse.
Dr. Billy Cohn and Dr. Bud Frazier Craig removed the heart, 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 is "a continuous stream».
"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. "
