The World's First Heartless Man

A gentleman named Craig Lewis, a 55-year-old who has a life threatening heart disease called “amiloidosis”, was admitted to the Heart Institute in Texas.

It is an unusual autoimmune disease that fills the internal organs with an infectious protein that quickly destroys the heart, kidneys, and liver. If you didn't intervene immediately, Lewis would have died in a few days, broadcast Periscope.

Fortunately, Dr. Billy Cohn and Dr. Bud Frazier from the Institute came up with what they call a continuous “flow device, which would allow blood flow through his body without pulse. They cut Mr. Lewis and then connected the device, the patient woke up and was fine. He was able to talk to the doctors the same day.

Dr. Cohn is an expert surgeon and a scientist who has consumed much of his life developing technology to replace or repair the human heart. The most remarkable device is what is called the Assistent Ventrical Air Equipment, also called LWADs.

Cohn joined Dr Bud Frazier to make a new discovery using technology from LVADs to duplicate the workings of the right and left of the heart./Periscopi
