Show Friday. March Clark Sought Contribution m ctioned, his blood pressure dropped and he was rushed back into surgery. Doctors repaired the valve. Clark continued his slow recovery but doctors still worried that his mental alertness was not as sharp as they had hoped. On Christmas, the medical center staff threw a small party for Clark. Nurses borrowed an artificial Christmas tree from another area of the hospital and set it up in a large room of the intensive care unit with a view of the Wasatch Mountains. Clark sat in a chair and waved at Santa Claus, who flew by the He died Wednesday night at the University of Utah Medical Center in Salt Lake City from "circulatory collapse and multiple organ systems failure. denThe retired Seattle-are-a tist was "a desperate man with a very difficult decision to make," said his son, Stephen, 35, a nose and throat surgeon in Bellevue, Wash. "He felt his only other option outside of the artificial heart was essentially certain death," the son said. "He also wished to make a contribution. "He was trying to find some meaning, some purpose to his window in a helicopter on his way to visit young patients at the medical center. Clark continued his slow, illness. This was one contribution he could make to people who have similar problems. His steady recovery until Jan. 9, when he developed nose bleeds. The bleeding persisted for nine days until doctors decided to surgically stop it. They clamped realistic appraisal was that the implant probably wasn't going to work." The first permanent artificial heart implanted in a human brought Clark back from the brink of death but complications followed the historic implant operation on Dec. 2. He wa3 returned to the operating room on Dec. 4 for additional surgery to correct a lung complication that permitted air leaks. Doctors explained after the one-hooperation that the surgery was minor.

Doctors said Clark had loved being in the private room and the move back to ICU depressed him. On Feb. 24, Clark was moved back to the spacious private See the BEST Leading scientists from Toom overlooking the Salt Lake Valley. He continued to exercise ,by pedaling an exercycle and walking with the aid of a walker. On March 2, doctors conducted a press conference and showed a videotaped interview Clark had with his surgeon, Dr. William DeVries. Clark said in the interview that the ordeal with the artificial heart was "worth it, if the alternative is death." He said he was not in pain and indicated he was glad to be able to make a contribution to medical science. DeVries said during the press conference that he believed there were times Clark had wished he was dead. "But if you asked him now, I think he would tell you he's glad to be alive," DeVries said. Clark had another setback the day after the press conference, when he became sick to his stomach and accidentally inhaled pieces of food during the nausea, causing him to develop aspiration pneumonia. The setback to his already weakened lungs because of a long bout with emphysema forced him back on a respirator full-tim- e. DeVries, who installed the heart in a historic operation at the University of Utah Medical Center, called Clark "the coolest patient I've ever had." Hospital personnel said Clark had a good sense of humor. Hours after his operation, he started writing jokes for nurses and, when a respirator tube was removed from his throat, he started telling them humorous anecdotes. Clark was born on Jan. 21, 1921, into a Mormon family at Provo, Utah, and grew up in the city about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City. He met his wife, Una Loy, in the seventh grade and they were high school around the world Thursday lauded the artificial heart operation that kept Barney Clark alive for 112 days as a positive step heart. "Our attitude to this operation is quite positive," said Dr. Boris Petrovsky, head of the Soviet man-mad- e Scientific CenUnion's ter for Surgery. "We consider it one more step forward toward the solution of the artificial heart problem," he said in a telephone interview with United Press International.

"Attaching the artificial heart was like giving a new engine to an old car," said Akio Yamada, an assistant professor at Tokyo Women's Medical University. Dr. Shoichi Furuta of the surgery department of Mitsui Memorial Hospital in Tokyo said the operation "certainly was first of all a challenge and it had to be done. I prefer to view it as an advance in medical science. "After this, the chances are great for the successful use of an artifical heart," he said. Petrovsky, the Soviet surgeon, said his institute has developed an articial heart of its own, but it will have to be perfected before Soviet researchers try to duplicate the Clark operation. "He lived with that artificial heart no longer than experimental animals who have had the In Bonn, West Germany, heart specialist Professor Emil Buecherl said the operation was justified and would provide valuable data on whether the technique could be used to prolong life or simply as a temporary measure while the patient waited for a suitable donor. "I am convinced that in the process, advanced development artificial heart will come regarded as useful in the future," Buecherl said. In Munich, West Germany, of the to be working under surgeons specialist Professor heart Werner Klinner said Clark's death dem- onstrated the artificial heart could not be used as a "long-tersolution" to heart problems. m They said artificial hearts could only be used as a bridge to overcome acute coronary disorders and that the apparatus rendered the patient virtually incapable of movement. Dr. Yukihiko Nose, chairman the department of artificial organs at Cleveland Clinic, where artificial heart research began several years ago, said he was "very encouraged" by the first implant operation. "I congratulate what the Utah group accomplished," Nose said. "It was a very difficult task." He said the information received of from the Clark case was "im- measurable."
