I know that a company called VentraCor was testing pulseless artificial hearts in sheep at least eight years ago.

I just went looking for their website to post here, but apparently they've shut down. On further googling it turns out that they shut down in 2008 when three out of their 188 human test subjects dropped dead due to their hearts accidentally coming unplugged. Whoops.
