In short:
A mechanical heart has been implanted in a New South Wales man who was experiencing severe heart failure.
He has become the first person in the world to be discharged from hospital with the titanium heart.
What’s next?
Doctors say the invention will likely be an alternative for donor heart transplants in the future.
The alternative is death, so a lot people would choose this instead.
It’s also just temporary, until a biological donor heart can be found for them.
