“Does it scare you to know that all of that has to be in your
head by the end of the month?”
Swede first to get
artificial heart
outside of the U.S.
Associated Press
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Doc
tors at Karolinska Hospital per
formed the first artificial heart im
plant outside the United States,
placing a metal and plastic Jarvik-7
lean in a Swede with an “enormous
will to live.”
Dr. Bjarne K. H. Semb, a Norwe
gian surgeon who led the 12-mem
ber team that carried out the world’s
fourth artificial heart transplant on
Sunday, said the patient was in “un
expectedly good shape” Tuesday af
ternoon.
He was identified only as a Swede
in his mid-50s. Semb said the patient
had requested anonymity and that
all personal details be withheld “as
long as he is helpless.”
Semb, 45, told a news conference
that the patient was “off the respira
tor, awake and talking.” He said
Robert Jarvik, the American inven
tor of the artificial heart, was present
at the operation to offer advice. He
added that Jarvik would not be avail
able for comment until Wednesday.
Semb said there was “no other al
ternative” for the patient, who had a
history of heart disease and had suf
fered two severe heart attacks.
lasted more than five hours.
The operation in Sweden was per
formed a day after the world’s sec
ond recipient of ati artificial heart,
53-year-old William J. Schroeder
was allowed to live outside the hospi
tal.
Schroeder was discharged Satur
day from the Humana Hospital Au
dubon in Louisville, Ky., where he
received the Jarvik-7 heart on Nov.
25. Murray Haydon, the world’s
third artificial heart recipient, on
Feb. 17, remains at Humana’s coro
nary care unit.
Semb said the Jarvik-7 heart was
purchased from the university clinic
in Salt Lake City, Utah, where the
first artificial heart implant was
made in December 1982 on Barney
Clark, a 62-year-old dentist. Clark
died 112 days after the operation.
Semb said he had performed im
plants of artificial hearts on calves at
the clinic in Salt Lake City. He said
he had also visited Dr. William C.
DeVries at Humana in connection
with DeVries’ operations of Sch
roeder and Haydon.
DeVries is the only American sur
geon authorized to implant the Jar-
Semb said “the patient himself
brought up the possibility of an arti
ficial heart. His enormous will to live
made him a candidate for it.
“The last thing he said before
going into anaesthetics was ‘We’re
gonna make it, you hear me,’ ” he
said.
Semb said that after the heart was
implanted Sunday there was a sec
ond operation because of “technical
problems.” Semb would not elab
orate, but said the two operations
Bob Irvine, a spokesman for Hu
mana Inc., said, “We (Humana offi
cials and DeVries) knew about it (the
Swedish implant) yesterday. Dr.
DeVries was consulted about the op
eration and was in contact with the
surgeons.”
Semb was a member of the pi
oneering group led by Dr.
Christiaan Barnard in Cape Town,
South Africa, which performed the
world’s first heart transplant in
1967.
Jackson rallies
behind farmers
Associated Press
PLATTSBURG, Mo. — The Rev.
Jesse Jackson brought his Rainbow
Coalition to this tiny farming town in
northwestern Missouri on Monday,
urging about 300 people rallying be
fore a foreclosure sale to work with
urban laborers and blacks to fight in
justices of the Reagan administra
tion.
Jackson, wearing bib overalls un
der a brown leather jacket, delivered
a rousing 30-minute speech before
the final 127 acres of the Perry Wil
son farm was sold.
The crowd was orderly during the
sale, a marked difference from the
pushing match with state troopers
that resulted in five arrests and a few
injuries when the first part of the
Wilson farm was sold March 15.
Jackson, who had stayed over
night Sunday with Wilson, called the
sale a “human disaster” and said
American agriculture is in a “crisis of
gigantic proportions.”
“We need leaders that think,”
Jackson said. “We need compassio
nate leaders. Someone must care for
a 73-year-old man who has nowhere
to go.”
Wilson has farmed 52 years in the
rolling Missouri countryside about
35 miles north of Kansas City. He
said he owed banks $234,000. The
final part of his land was purchased
for $85,000 by the Kearney Trust
Association.
Jackson said Reagan administra
tion policies were to blame for an ad
ditional 12 million people who have
fallen below the poverty line since
1980.
He said 2,000 farms were being
foreclosed each week because a
strong American dollar has limited
exports, the administration failed to
block farm imports coming into this
country and because the arms
buildup took needed money away
from agriculture.
“Save the farmer and export Rea
gan,” Jackson said as the crowd
cheered. “We can do without Rea
gan. But we cannot do without the
farmer. We need you.”
