  Thought I saw a headline about him living 90 days, implying he didn’t live longer. Sorry, I didn’t click on it to verify that my inference was accurate.

    The man lived with the artificial heart for more than 100 days until a human heart match was found last week. His transplant surgery was also a success, and he is recovering well.

    battery currently lasts 4 hours, so probably safe to guess he spent that 100 days in a hospital. still really impressive.
