Abstract:
Total THI/Gould LVAS experience includes 59 pneumatically and electrically-actuated blood pump evaluations (in calves, goats and sheep), including 23 studies with the Gould Model V energy converter. This experience has resulted in greater than 8 cumulative years of actuation, in vivo, including electrically-actuated LVAS durations up to 6 mos.
