Penn State surgeons implant region's first temporary total artificial heart
Friday, May 4, 2007
Penn State Heart and Vascular Institute surgeon Walter Pae Jr. holds the CardioWest temporary Total Artificial Heart he implanted into a 60-year-old central Pennsylvania Man Wednesday, May 2. The patient is in good condition and recovering in Penn State Hershey Medical Center's Heart and Vascular Intensive Care Unit.
Hershey, Pa. -- Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center has become only the ninth hospital in the United States and 16th worldwide to implant the CardioWest temporary Total Artificial Heart. A 60-year-old mid-state man suffering from end-stage heart failure received the device in a six-hour surgery on Wednesday (May 2). The procedure was performed by a surgical team led by Walter Pae Jr., Penn State Heart and Vascular Institute's program director, cardiac surgery.
The patient is in good condition in the Medical Center's heart and vascular intensive care unit and is expected to make a full recovery. The CardioWest artificial heart replaces the patient's failing heart while he awaits a donor heart for transplantation.
The Medical Center will issue periodic updates on the patient's condition. For more information on Penn State Heart and Vascular Institute, visit http://www.PennStateHeartandVascular.com online.
