Key result
A mock circulatory system was successfully constructed to test the effectiveness of intra-aortic balloon temporary heart-assist devices under conditions of simulated cardiogenic shock.
A mock circulatory system was successfully developed to simulate cardiogenic shock for the bench testing of intra-aortic balloon pump devices.
Offers a reproducible in vitro model for IABP testing in simulated shock; leaves open correlation with clinical outcomes.
A mock circulatory system (MCS) was constructed for testing intra-aortic balloon (IAB) temporary heart-assist devices. The MCS consists of a left heart analog, compliant arteries, peripheral resistance, and venous return. Design objectives and operating characteristics of the MCS are presented. The results of a number of studies to determine the effectiveness of intra-aortic balloon devices under conditions of simulated cardiogenic shock are reported.
