Artificial heart survived for four days under mechanical support but did not recover from the complications of the cardiac arrest; finally, the pump was discontinued, and the patient died.

The patient developed neurological and pulmonary complications and died after few days of LVAD mechanical support. In October 1966, DeBakey and Liotta implanted the paracorporeal Liotta-DeBakey LVAD in a new
Comparison of MD and DO in the United States MD and DO schools can also be distinguished by a relative lack of scientific and clinical research at DO schools.
