Ventricular assist devices (VADs) provide long-and short-term support to chronically ill heart
disease patients; these devices are expected to match the remarkable functionality of the …

The impact of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) for the treatment of advanced heart
failure has played a significant role as a bridge to transplant and more recently as a long …

Hemolysis is a potential limitation of percutaneously delivered left‐sided mechanical
circulatory support pumps, including trans valvular micro‐axial flow pumps (TVP). Hemolytic …

In this paper, we propose a multiscale numerical algorithm to simulate the hemolytic release
of hemoglobin (Hb) from red blood cells (RBCs) flowing through sieves containing …

In this work, the study results of an implantable pediatric rotary blood pump (PRBP) are
presented. They show the results of the numerical simulation of fluid flow rates in the pump …

A suspension system for the BiVACOR biventricular assist device (BiVAD) has been
developed and tested. The device features two semi-open centrifugal impellers mounted on …

Abstract Introduction Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are considered an effective treatment
for patients with advanced heart failure, while complications associated with blood damage …

With the increasing focus on reducing deaths because of heart ailments, considerable
emphasis has been directed toward the development of ventricular assist devices (VADs) …

While F ontan palliation in the form of the total cavopulmonary connection has improved the
management of congenital single ventricle physiology, long‐term outcomes for patients with …

Mechanical circulatory support options for infants and children are very limited in the United
States. Existing circulatory support systems have proven successful for short-term pediatric …
