Pulsatile operation of a continuous-flow right ventricular assist device (RVAD) to improve vascular pulsatility
Despite the widespread acceptance of rotary blood pump (RBP) in clinical use over the past decades, the diminished flow pulsatility generated by a fixed speed RBP has been regarded as a potential factor that may lead to adverse events such as vasculature stiffening and hemorrhagic strokes. In this s...
