In this approach, the Left ventricular assist pump for patients with left ventricular failure isused. The failure of the left ventricle is the most common heart disease during these days. Inthis article, a State feedback controller method is used to optimize the efficiency of a samplingpump current. Particle Swarm Algorithm, which is a set of rules to update the position andvelocity, is applied...
متن کاملApplication of centrifugal pump in right ventricular failure due to pulmonary artery hypertension. (A case report)
Background: It has not been yet developed a ost suitable method to treat right ventricular failure due to pulmonar artery hypertention resulted from ventricular arrhythia. Though some case reports about patients ready to heart transplant using left assist device or biventral assist device as bridge have been published in Journals, but nocase concerning application of centrifugal pump for treatm...
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 کاملSevere hemolytic anemia and acute kidney injury after percutaneous continuous-flow ventricular assistance.
The incidence of hemolysis after ventricular assist device implantation is low and has been estimated at 3%.1 The Impella 2.5 (Abiomed; Danvers, MA) continuous-flow left ventricular assist device uses a microaxial pump that draws blood from the left ventricular cavity and expels it into the ascending aorta. The device is percutaneously inserted via the femoral artery and used as temporary circu...

Evaluation and management of abdominal pathology in patients with ventricular assist devices is likely to become increasingly important as the utilization of these devices expands. Ventricular assist devices represent a class of intracorporeal or paracorporeal mechanical devices that augment cardiac output in patients with congestive heart failure. Patients with ventricular assist devices suppo...
