This study evaluated the performance of an intravascular, percutaneously‐inserted, axial
flow blood pump in an idealized total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) model of a Fontan …

This study investigated the performance of a magnetically levitated, intravascular axial flow
blood pump for mechanical circulatory support of the thousands of Fontan patients in …

This numerical study examined the performance of an intravascular axial flow blood pump
for mechanical hemodynamic support of patients in the setting of Fontan failure, which …

A viscous impeller pump (VIP) based on the Von Karman viscous pump is specifically
designed to provide cavopulmonary assist in a univentricular Fontan circulation. The …

This study examined the interactive fluid dynamics between a cavopulmonary assist device
and univentricular Fontan circulation. We conducted two‐dimensional particle image …

To provide a viable bridge‐to‐transplant, bridge‐to‐recovery, or bridge‐to‐surgical
reconstruction for patients with failing Fontan physiology, we are developing a collapsible …

A mechanical blood pump specifically designed to increase pressure in the great veins
would improve hemodynamic stability in adolescent and adult Fontan patients having …

An intravascular axial flow pump is being developed as a mechanical cavopulmonary assist
device for adolescent and adult patients with dysfunctional F ontan physiology. Coupling …

Numerical and experimental studies are carried out to assess the hydraulic and
hemodynamic performance and the biocompatibility of a viscous impeller pump (VIP) for …

A blood pump specifically designed to operate in the unique anatomic and physiologic
conditions of a cavopulmonary connection has never been developed. Mechanical …
