Does the Baylor totally implantable electromechanical total artificial heart demonstrate adequate anatomic fit and in vivo performance?
The newly developed Baylor totally implantable electromechanical total artificial heart demonstrated adequate pump performance, anatomic fit in humans, and short-term in vivo biocompatibility in a calf model.
Takatani et al. (1992) studied Heart transplant recipients (n=26). Baylor TAH (totally implantable electromechanical total artificial heart) was evaluated on Anatomic fit and pump performance. The Baylor totally implantable electromechanical total artificial heart demonstrated good anatomic fit in 26 heart transplant recipients and adequate performance in a one-week in vivo calf study.
