Abstract Purpose To build a mock circulatory loop to simulate veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) haemodynamics using a patient-specific silicone aortic phantom and compare the flow dynamics for continuous..

Abstract Due to the high treatment costs associated with durable ventricular assist devices, an intra-ventricular balloon pump (IVBP) was developed to provide low-cost, short-term support for patients suffering from severe..

Abstract Blood pumps have been increasingly used in mechanically assisted circulation for ventricular assistance and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support or during cardiopulmonary bypass for cardiac surgery. However, there have always..
