Many patients with end-stage heart disease die because of the scarcity of donor hearts. A
total artificial heart (TAH), an implantable machine that replaces the heart, has so far been …

The mock circulatory loop (MCL) is an in vitro experimental system that can provide
continuous pulsatile flows and simulate different physiological or pathological parameters of …

Background We sought to better understand the patient population who receive a temporary
total artificial heart (TAH) as bridge to transplant or as bridge to decision by evaluating data …

The technology of 3D‐printing has allowed the production of entirely soft pumps with
complex chamber geometries. We used this technique to develop a completely soft …

A total artificial heart (TAH) represents a challenge in medical science to provide a survival
perspective for patients with severe cardiac problems. Although cardiac transplantation …

For those suffering from end-stage biventricular heart failure, and where a heart
transplantation is not a viable option, a Total Artificial Heart (TAH) can be used as a bridge to …

Objective: Total artificial hearts (TAH) serve as a temporary treatment for severe biventricular
heart failure. The limited durability and complication rates of current devices hamper long …

The need for biventricular support poses significant challenges for patients who require a
mechanical bridge to transplantation. Recent improvements in ventricular assist device …

Coils misalignments restrain the wider implementation of inductive powering of implantable
medical devices. The misalignment problem can be overcome with the help of the coils …

Globally, around 2.6 million people receive renal replacement therapy (RRT), and a further
4.9-9.7 million people need, but do not have access to, RRT [1]. The next generation RRT …
