In November 2014, Stan Larkin's heart failed. He was placed on life support and put on the waiting list for a heart transplant. But while he waited, Larkin was given a remarkable opportunity: to live without a heart.

Larkin was implanted with a SynCardia Freedom Total Artificial Heart, a device that pumps blood throughout the body without the need for a human heart. Larkin became the first patient in Michigan to go home with the portable device.

For the next 555 days, Larkin lived without a heart. He carried the power source for the artificial heart in a backpack. He had to be careful not to overexert himself, but he was able to live a relatively normal life.

In May 2016, Larkin finally received a heart transplant. He was the first patient in Michigan to receive a heart transplant after using the SynCardia artificial heart.

Larkin's story is an inspiration to us all. It shows that even in the face of adversity, there is always hope.

In this video, we will take a closer look at Larkin's story and learn more about the SynCardia Freedom Total Artificial Heart. We will also discuss the future of artificial hearts and how they could save even more lives.
