Great excitement filled operating room 9 at the Sheba Medical Center’s Heart Center as the world’s most advanced complete artificial heart, the Aeson by French company CARMAT, was implanted in a man in his 50s suffering from severe heart failure.
“This is a very special and historic day,” said Prof. Avi Morgan, surgical director of the Heart and Artificial Heart Transplant Unit at Sheba. The device is expected to keep the patient alive and stabilize his condition until a donor heart becomes available — ideally within 6 to 12 months. The operation, closely followed by a Ynet reporter, marked a milestone in Israeli medical history.
