Feasibility of pulsatile impeller pumps shown in calves; leaves open durability and clinical translation.
An implantable pulsatile impeller pump demonstrated up to 62 days of support in calves without severe thrombosis or organ dysfunction, leading to the development of a magnetically suspended motor to overcome mechanical bearing failure.
Qian et al. (1997) studied this question.
