The first robotic heart transplant was performed in 1985 - Apparently.
In a groundbreaking surgery, Dr. Robert Jarvik and a team of surgeons at the University of Utah transplanted a robotic artificial heart into a 61-year-old man named Barney Clark. The artificial heart, called the Jarvik-7, was a mechanical pump that simulated the function of a human heart. Clark survived for 112 days after the surgery, paving the way for the development of modern artificial heart technology. This pioneering procedure marked a significant milestone in the field of robotics and artificial organs.
