25-Year-Old Man Gets Heart Transplant After Living Without One For Over a Year

For more than a year Stan Larkin lived without a heart. Instead, he carried around a 13 pound artificial one. The 25-year-old was the first patient in Michigan to test out this new medical equipment in 2014. Stan was diagnosed as a teenager with heart failure. Instead of waiting in the hospital for a transplant, the artificial heart let him leave. Last month, Stan finally had a successful heart transplant surgery. Now, doctors call him a hero for sharing his story of bravery. #InsideEdition

[@somewhereinspace2166]

I wonder if he's still alive, sadly a heart transplant is not a permanent solution. About 50% of recipients die within a decade. I searched the internet up and down but couldn't find an update, whether good or bad. I hope he's doing well, bless the deceased person who's tragedy gave him this gift.

I am happy for you

[@EnchantedSmellyWolf]

My hearts been acting up again. I don't feel scared but my heart sometimes beats irregular trying to stop or something but gets back to normal leaving exhausted and a bit woozy. Can this just be a anxiety? Either way doctors didn't bother but to give me buspirone for anxiety. It makes me feel better but now that it's happen more often this week I'm goinv to take them again.

[@chazzaladd]

it could be palpitations, they can give a feeling of anxiety. make sure you've had an ecg

[@EnchantedSmellyWolf]

chazzaladd I did twice from hospital. No issues have been detected.

[@millenium2003]

lets hope his body doesn't reject it.

[@cutiecukblox468]

Isn't there medicine to help with that?

[@millenium2003]

cutiecuk Blox he will be taking pills to suppress his immune system so it wouldn't attack the organ. Even then it is not a guarantee.
Disclaimer: i am not a doctor, just somebody on the internet

[@cutiecukblox468]

Disclaime"r": Even somebody on the Internet can have the same amount of intelligence as a doctor

[@ashy1596]

If you'd listen to the video, it said that his surgery was successful.

[@millenium2003]

Molly burke having a successful surgery doesn't mean you won't have complications afterwards. it happens a lot.
