The world's first heartless human who is leterally living without a pulse.

CRAIG LEWIS                                                    Craig Lewis is the first heartless human who is leterally living without a pulse.                                                                                      In March 2011, Craig was suffering with a life threatening heart problem and was admitted with amyloidosis to the Texas Heart Institute Centre.                                                                                                                Amyloidosis is a rare autoimmune disease which causes the internal organs to fill up with viscous build-up of abnormal protein, causing heart, kidney and liver failure. If the doctors hadn’t intervened to save Craig’s life, he would have most likely died within days.                                                                                                                                  Two specialists from the institute came up with a revolutionary idea to install a “continuous flow” device which would allow for blood to circulate throughout the body without a pulse.                                                                                                                   It would help the left ventricle push oxygenated blood throughout the body.

The two doctors, Dr. Billy Cohn and Dr. Bud Frazier removed Mr’ Lewis’s heart and installed a device to pump blood throughout the body.
