Summary:
The basic goal of the ERDA Artificial Heart Program is to develop and construct an artificial heart, powered by a /sup 238/Pu heat source, which can be successfully employed as an emplantable total artificial heart system for animal experiments. Future studies will be directed at developing and evaluating a satisfactory system for total heart replacement in humans. A total of 32 ERDA artificial hearts have been implanted since the initiation of the program. During the reporting period ten total heart replacement experiments were performed in calves using the ERDA blood pump powered by an electric motor implanted in the abdomen. Results of the experiments are given. (TFD)
