Does a centrifugal pump with a magnetically suspended impeller demonstrate long-term durability and nonthrombogenicity in a chronic sheep model?
A centrifugal pump with a magnetically suspended impeller demonstrated long-term durability and nonthrombogenicity for over a year in a sheep model, indicating potential for long-term ventricular support.
Nojiri et al. (1997) studied Evaluation for total artificial heart and long-term ventricular support (n=3). Centrifugal pump with a magnetically suspended impeller (MSCP) was evaluated on Long-term durability and nonthrombogenicity. In a chronic sheep model, the magnetically suspended centrifugal pump demonstrated long-term durability and nonthrombogenicity, with one sheep surviving over 395 days without major complications.
