A History of Artificial Heart Research

After decades of limited successes and outright disappointments, the dream of an affordable, complication-free artificial heart has become a tangible goal that pioneering researchers believe lies just over the horizon. Combining archival footage with interviews, this program maps out the contributions of Michael DeBakey, Denton Cooley, William DeVries, Robert Jarvik, and other doctors in the ongoing effort to engineer an artificial heart—not merely as a bridge-to-transplant device, but as a permanent replacement. Case studies, including Barney Clark and Bill Schroeder, are examined. Produced by CBS News Productions. (46 minutes)
