A man in his forties received the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart ( TAH ) after experiencing heart failure.

The TAH has no pumps, valves, or other moving parts susceptible to wear.

Magnetic levitation permits a single rotor to pump blood to the body through both ventricles.

He was able to leave the hospital even, before a donor heart was found.
