A Flow Sensor-Based Suction-Index Control Strategy for Rotary Left Ventricular Assist Devices

A Flow Sensor-Based Suction-Index Control Strategy for Rotary Left Ventricular Assist Devices

Rotary left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) have emerged as a long-term treatment option for patients with advanced heart failure. LVADs need to maintain sufficient physiological perfusion while avoiding left ventricular myocardial damage due to suction at the LVAD inlet. To achieve these objectiv...
