This machine has enabled an Australian man with severe heart failure to be the first person in the world to survive over 100 days with a total artificial heart before receiving a transplant.
这台机器使一名患有严重心力衰竭的澳大利亚男子，成为了世界上首个在接受移植手术之前依靠全人工心脏存活超过100天的人。
The six-hour operation took place in late 2024 at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney.
这项植入手术于2024年底在悉尼圣文森特医院进行，前后共持续了6个小时。
The BiVACOR "Total Artificial Heart" replicates both sides of the organ and is stitched onto the heart before being turned on, as transplant surgeon Dr. Paul Jansz explains.
移植外科医生保罗·扬斯博士解释说，这种名为BiVACOR的“全人工心脏”复制了心脏的两侧，并在开启之前缝合到了心脏上。
"So that's a sort of, the moment where everybody holds their breath and then it turns on and it works, and then you slowly wean the patient off the heart lung machine which is keeping them alive while you do the surgery and the pump takes over, and it did."
“这是所有人都屏住呼吸的时刻，先是开启它，让它工作，然后在你做手术的时候，你慢慢让病人摆脱维持他们生命的心肺机，由这个类似泵的设备来接管，它确实做到了。”
Invented by scientist Dr. Daniel Timms, it's designed as a bridge to keep patients alive until a donor heart transplant is possible.
BiVACOR是由科学家丹尼尔·蒂姆斯博士发明的，它被设计成一个先让病人活下去、直到找到可能进行心脏移植手术这两者之间的桥梁。
"He had the device for 104 days before his transplant, so three and a half months, and he was discharged from hospital along that way so that was a world first for us.
“在心脏移植手术前，他使用了BiVACOR104天，也就是三个半月，在移植过程中他还出院了，这对我们来说是世界上首例。
Ultimately that's what our goal is, to return these patients back to a normal quality of life, and he did return to a normal quality of life outside the hospital.
我们的最终目标就是让这些病人恢复正常的生活质量，而他也确实恢复了正常的生活质量。
So this gives us an incredible hope that in the future we won't need to bring them back in for a transplant; that they can stay out, keep the device for the rest of their life."
所以这给了我们一个不可思议的希望，在未来我们可能不需要把他们带回来进行移植；他们可以呆在医院外，在他们的余生中一直使用这个设备。”
The patient was the sixth person in the world to receive the implantable device.
这名患者是全球第六位接受这种植入式设备的人。
The Australian patient underwent surgery for a donor heart transplant this month and is recovering well.
在本月，该澳大利亚患者接受了心脏移植手术，目前恢复良好。
