Key result
The LAP-25 left ventricular assist blood pump generated flow rates of 3-5 Lpm at 8500-10,500 rpm, producing pressure rises of 27.5-148.3 mm Hg and a mean hemolysis index of 0.0895%.

Supports iterative LAP-25 LVAD development; leaves open in vivo durability and clinical translation.
The novel LAP-25 left ventricular assist blood pump demonstrates acceptable hydraulic performance and low estimated hemolysis in computational fluid dynamics simulations.
Yang et al. (2011) studied this question. LAP-25 left ventricular assist blood pump was evaluated on Hydraulic performance and hemolytic property. The LAP-25 left ventricular assist blood pump generated flow rates of 3-5 Lpm at 8500-10,500 rpm, producing pressure rises of 27.5-148.3 mm Hg and a mean hemolysis index of 0.0895%.
