Tal Golesworth is a British engineer that received a heart implant that he designed himself. Golesworth suffers from Marfan Syndrome, which is an inherited connective-tissue disorder that could rupture cardiac vales. The standard way to treat the disease is by using a mechanical aortic valve, which would require a heart-lung bypass and he would have to take the Warfarin blood thinner for the rest of his life. Golesworth decided to create his own implant to reduce the risk of blood clots. He would no longer need blood thinners either.
