Artificial heart man’s transplant

A man who was kept alive after being fitted with a Carmat artificial heart has had it removed and a heart transplant put in its place.

The French makers of Carmat said it was fitted for eight months and had allowed blood pressure to fall and improve liver, lung and other organ functions to be fit for the transplant, carried out on the local patient in June in Kazakhstan.
