Mashup Score: 0The Evolution of Durable, Implantable Axial-Flow Rotary Blood Pumps - 10 month(s) ago
Abstract. Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly used to treat patients with end-stage heart failure. Implantable LVADs were initially developed in the 1960s and 1970s. Because of technological constraints, early LVADs had limited durability (eg, membrane or valve failure) and poor biocompatibility (eg, driveline infections and high rates of hemolysis caused by high shear…

Mashup Score: 1Machine learning based on computational fluid dynamics enables geometric design optimisation of the NeoVAD blades - Scientific Reports - 11 month(s) ago
The NeoVAD is a proposed paediatric axial-flow Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD), small enough to be implanted in infants. The design of the impeller and diffuser blades is important for hydrodynamic performance and haemocompatibility of the pump. This study aimed to optimise the blades for pump efficiency using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), machine learning and global optimisation….

Mashup Score: 2Baseline Hemodynamics Including Aortic and Pulmonary Blood Flow in a Chronic Bovine Model - 2 year(s) ago
The use of large animal models in the preclinical setting has expanded and become increasingly valuable for evaluating the safety and efficacy of new therapies and devices. Here, we report normal hemodynamic values, including aortic and pulmonary blood flow, in a bovine model at rest and during exercise after a control procedure. We performed a left lateral thoracotomy and implanted fluid-filled…

Mashup Score: 3Continuous-Flow Total Heart Replacement Device Implanted in a 55-Year-Old Man with End-Stage Heart Failure and Severe Amyloidosis - 2 year(s) ago
We implanted a continuous-flow total heart replacement device in a 55-year-old man who had severe end-stage heart failure due to amyloidosis and no other options for treatment. The device was composed of 2 modified HeartMate II ventricular assist pumps. …

Mashup Score: 2Hemocompatibility Assessment Platform Drive System Design: Trade-off between Motor Performance and Hemolysis - 2 year(s) ago
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have long been used to treat adults with heart failure, but LVAD options for pediatric patients with heart failure are lacking. Despite the urgent need for long-term, implantable pediatric LVADs, design challenges such as hemolysis, pump thrombosis, and bleeding persist. We have developed a Hemocompatibility Assessment Platform (HAP) to identify blood…
