Supports short-term TAH feasibility in calves; leaves open durability and human translation of LMA control.
The LMA ejection control method for a one-piece electromechanical TAH successfully maintained physiological atrial pressures in a 1-week calf model.
Takatani et al. (1993) studied Total artificial heart evaluation (n=1). Left master alternate (LMA) ejection control was evaluated on Left and right atrial pressures. Left master alternate ejection control for a one-piece electromechanical total artificial heart maintained left and right atrial pressures within physiological ranges during a 1-week in vivo calf study.
