Doctors at the University of Maryland School of Medicine announced on Friday that 58-year-old Lawrence Faucette underwent the procedure on Wednesday and is currently in recovery and able to communicate with others.



Officials stated that Faucette had been suffering from end-stage heart disease and had been deemed ineligible for a traditional transplant using a human heart due to his pre-existing peripheral vascular disease and complications related to internal bleeding.
