Supports simplified total artificial heart designs; leaves open translation beyond acute animal models.
A novel moving-actuator total artificial heart successfully achieved balanced atrial pressures without needing an extra compliance chamber in acute calf models.
Min et al. (1993) studied Total artificial heart testing (n=2). Electromechanical moving-actuator type total artificial heart (TAH) was evaluated on Balanced left and right atrial pressures. In two acute calf experiments, the moving-actuator type total artificial heart achieved balanced left and right atrial pressures without an extra compliance chamber.
