Magnetic Levitation Design for the PediaFlowTM Ventricular Assist Device
Over the past few decades, we have seen a tremendous progress in the development of implantable ventricular assist devices (VAD). However, these devices are mainly developed for adult patients. For the patients under age 5 who have chronic heart failures, physicians must resort to extracorporeal circulatory support devices which often result in infection, thromboembolism, or excessive blood tra...
متن کاملDesign an Equivalent Left Ventricular Assist Device for Medical Equipment Labs
LVAD is a mechanical pump supporting a weak heart function and blood flow. Sometimes, the heart may not recover fast enough to take over the pumping action immediately after surgery, in such patients a temporary support device has been employed to maintain the pumping action until the patient’s own heart recovers. This device can be considered as a temporary alternative before the process of ar...
متن کاملComputational fluid dynamics analysis of a maglev centrifugal left ventricular assist device.
The fluid dynamics of the Thoratec HeartMate III (Thoratec Corp., Pleasanton, CA, U.S.A.) left ventricular assist device are analyzed over a range of physiological operating conditions. The HeartMate III is a centrifugal flow pump with a magnetically suspended rotor. The complete pump was analyzed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and experimental particle imaging flow visualiza...
متن کاملDesign of a continuous flow centrifugal pediatric ventricular assist device.
Thousands of pediatric patients suffering from cardiomyopathy or single ventricular physiologies secondary to debilitating heart defects may benefit from long-term mechanical circulatory support due to the limited number of donor hearts available. This article presents the initial design of a fully implantable centrifugal pediatric ventricular assist device (PVAD) for 2 to 12 year olds. Convent...
