Barney Clark was the first patient to receive an artificial heart on December 2, 1982, during a surgery led by Dr. William DeVries. He was a retired dentist who volunteered for the procedure after learning that a traditional transplant was not an option. The artificial heart was a Jarvik-7 developed by Robert Jarvik. Clark survived for 112 days after the operation before he passed away. This pioneering surgery was crucial in the field of cardiac medicine.
