Journal ArticleDOI

Numerical Analysis of Blood Damage Potential of the HeartMate II and HeartWare HVAD Rotary Blood Pumps.

TL;DR: An overall similar tendency to blood trauma in both pumps is indicated, however, influences of turbulent shear stresses were not considered and effects of the pivot bearing in the HM II were not taken into account, and further in vitro investigations are required.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood Pump Design Variations and Their Influence on Hydraulic Performance and Indicators of Hemocompatibility.

TL;DR: A centrifugal blood pump is developed using industrial guidelines and its effects on hemodynamics and hydraulic performance using computational fluid dynamics and Eulerian and Lagrangian features, shear stress histograms and six indicators of hemocompatibility are analysed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluid Dynamics in the HeartMate 3: Influence of the Artificial Pulse Feature and Residual Cardiac Pulsation.

TL;DR: Overall, it was found that viscous stresses in the HM3 were lower than in other current VADs, however, the artificial pulse substantially increased turbulence, and thereby also total stresses, which may contribute to clinically observed issues related to hemocompatibility.
Journal ArticleDOI

A two-stage rotary blood pump design with potentially lower blood trauma: a computational study.

TL;DR: Measured pressure-flow performance of the developed pump indicated its ability to generate adequate pressure heads and flows with characteristic curves similar to centrifugal pumps, and blood trauma might be reduced with this design.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vitro study of near-wall flow in a cerebral aneurysm model with and without coils.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that future hydrodynamic studies of coil therapy should include an investigation of the coil structure in addition to the coil-packing attenuation.
