The name of the first artificial organ transplant is the artificial heart. The first successful implantation of a total artificial heart in a human patient occurred in 1982 when Dr. Barney Clark received the Jarvik-7 heart as part of an experimental procedure. The artificial heart is designed to take over the function of the natural heart, pumping blood through the body for patients suffering from end-stage heart disease. This groundbreaking medical achievement laid the foundation for advancements in cardiac surgery and organ replacement, inspiring a new era in biomedical engineering and enhancing the possibilities for treating heart failure.
