Facts, views & vision in ObGyn·2019

This study tested a novel rotary blood pump in calves, finding it suitable for circulatory assistance. The device demonstrated effective pumping with low hemolysis, suggesting potential for clinical use.

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Cardiovascular Devices
Hemodynamics

Context:

Current ventricular assist devices face limitations.
Development of novel rotary blood pumps is crucial for improving circulatory support.
Understanding pump performance and hemocompatibility is essential.

Purpose:

To evaluate the efficacy and hemocompatibility of a new trochoidal rotary blood pump.
To assess the pump's performance in various assist configurations (left, right, biventricular).
To determine energy requirements and plasma hemoglobin levels during prolonged operation.

Summary:

A novel rotary blood pump with a trochoidal internal surface and a gap seal was tested in calves for 6 hours.
The pump supported left ventricular assist, right ventricular assist, and biventricular assist, producing pulsatile flow.

Related Experiment Videos

Plasma hemoglobin levels remained low, indicating good hemocompatibility, though slightly increased during biventricular support.

Impact:

This preliminary study suggests the new rotary blood pump is a viable option for circulatory assist.
Further research could lead to improved VAD technology and patient outcomes.
The pump's design shows promise for addressing unmet needs in mechanical circulatory support.
