The artificial heart surgery was performed on 20 August 2010, by Dr. Phillip Spratt, the head of the Heart and Lung Transplant Unit of St Vincent's Hospital.
Robert Jarvik, who worked in Kolff's laboratory at the University of Utah beginning in 1971, credited Kolff with inspiring him to develop the first permanent artificial heart.
William J. Schroeder (1932, Jasper, Indiana – August 7, 1986), was one of the first recipients of an artificial heart at the age of 52.
His publications include Periplum (Avec, 1992), Artificial Heart (Burning Deck Press, 1998), Fin Amor (Tougher Disguises, 2002), Some Values of Landscape and Weather (Wesleyan, 2003), The Outernationale (Wesleyan, 2007) and Threshold Songs (Wesleyan, 2011).
Jarvik's name came to the forefront after the well-aired 1982 news coverage of the artificial heart implant (the first done since Domingo Liotta and Denton Cooley's first in 1969).
