Influence of outflow cannula geometry on hemodynamics in patients with partial circulatory support : A computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background/Introduction Partial circulatory support is a new option of treatment for heart-failure patients. The Circulite Synergy Micro-Pump is a partial support device where the inflow cannula is connected to the left atrium and the outflow cannula to the right subclavian artery (RSA). Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations can be used to demonstrate changes in hemodynamics post treatment.

متن کاملComputational analysis of aortic hemodynamics during total and partial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and intra-aortic balloon pump support.
PURPOSE The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a temporary, but prolonged circulatory support for cardiopulmonary failure. Clinical evidence suggests that pulsed flow is healthier than non pulsatile perfusion. The aim of this study was to computationally evaluate the effects of total and partial ECMO assistance and pulsed flow on hemodynamics in a patient-specific aorta model. METH...
