Supports preclinical iteration of electromechanical total artificial hearts; leaves open human translation pending longer survival studies.
A new moving-actuator electromechanical total artificial heart demonstrated initial feasibility and hemodynamic stability in a 100-hour calf model.
Min et al. (1991) studied this question. Moving-actuator type electromechanical total artificial heart was evaluated on Pump performance and hemodynamic stability. A new moving-actuator type electromechanical total artificial heart maintained a stable hemodynamic state for 100 hours in a calf model before accidental electrical short circuit death.
