1982—First Permanent Artificial Heart: Dr. William C. DeVries of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City implants the Jarvik-7 artificial heart into Barney Clark, a 61-year-old retired dentist. Clark is forced to remain inactive because the heart is kept beating by an external compressor attached to the implant by hoses. Clark lives 112 days.
