Comedy Store Artificial heart implants await FDA approval SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A plan to begin implanting polyurethane hearts in human patients was approved yester- day by a University of Utah subcommittee. The initial operation, only the third in history, could come as early as March, if the federal government gives approval. Dr. Ernst Eichwald, subcommittee chairman, said the fir- st candidate for the operation would be a heart patient who would die "unless the heart is implanted..." The decision by the subcommittee of the Review Commit- tee for Research with Human Subjects followed seven mon- ths of study and 20 years of experiments at Utah in which progressively more sophisticated artificial hearts were im- planted in calves, sheep and ponies. THE LATEST MODEL is an air-driven, polyurethane heart attached to a compressed air supply the size of a breadbox. A patient would be fitted with two six-foot-long air tubes running from his chest to the exterior drive system and -would have to remain-tethered to the air supply for the rest of his life. Doctors at an afternoon news conference said the first operation could occur within a week after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves the subcommittee's recom- mendation. The FDA has~30 days in which to approve or deny the plan, and the Utah doctors said they were confident they would get approval. Dr. William DeVries, the 38-year-old surgeon who will im- plant the polyurethane heart, said roughly 5,000 people die each year who cannot be weaned from bypass machines used during open-heart surgery. He said 2,800-3,000 of them would be likely candidates for an artificial heart. HE SAID THE ARTIFICIAL heart would cost°$5,000 and thedevice's drive system another $5,000. Added to that would be the cost of a 10-day stay in the hospital, plus $30,000 in modifications to the patient's home, such as ramps, com- pressed-air sockets and an emergency telephone line. DeVries said that for the first few operations, all costs likely would be waived. He noted there is no precedent for in- surance coverage of such an operation. The one problem DeVries said may occur during the operation is bleeding when the suture connecting the artificial , heart is sewn into the tissue of the aorta. Although the current artificial heart must be attached to the external air supply, doctors at the university hospital are working on a fully mobile battery pack that would be worn as a vest or belt. The batteries would have to be replaced with recharged batteries once or twice a day. 6 0 0 U-Club Mich.

Trucks were driven into walls, trains, and other conceivable obstacles, he said. An accident within the Ford plant is less likely than a trucking mishap, said Reactor Manager Bob Burn. Even if casks containing radioac- tivity were to lose their coolent, Burn said, "it (an accident) wouldn't happen because we have smaller cores and bet- ter heat transfer capabilities. "Sure, there's always a hazard with transporting nuclear waste," he said. "But it's less of a hazard than a gasoline truck explosion, or an accident involving a truck carrying chemical waste." THE FORD PLANT, which specializes in the production and signs ice sa a C ly testing of medical and industrial isotopes and power reactor training, ships "low level" waste about once a month, and "high level" waste once a year, Burn said. Burn said the public fear of hazards involving nuclear waste is exaggerated, especially when. com- pared to the dangers of chemical dum- ping and environmental pollution. "My opinion is that they (Green- peace) are over-reacting," he said. However, Greenpeace Project Coor- dinator Les Welsh said yesterday that the casks used in radioactive waste transport are not fail-safe. Through his own research, Welsh claims to have discovered that necessary heating elements aren't used during transporting, and the casks are not tested when they are manufactured or while in use. orwhl i1ue The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor The Bush Program in Child Development and Social Policy Winter 1981 Public Lectures CURRENT ISSUES IN EDUCATION w r' .
