Impact of an Accessory for Left Ventricular Assist Devices on Device Flow and Pressure Head In Vitro

Impact of an Accessory for Left Ventricular Assist Devices on Device Flow and Pressure Head In Vitro

A novel accessory directing the blood from the outflow of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) back through the left ventricular apex and across the aortic valve allows LVAD implantation via the left ventricular apex solely but may affect the LVAD performance. We quantified the effect of the acce...
