The purpose of this study was to develop a total system of an implantable assisted heart for longer term circulatory assistance exceeding one month. This paper presents a pre-clinical evaluation of implantable assisted heart in a series of basic and animal experiments as followed:
(1) evaluation of assisted heart in quantitative models of ventricular failure,
(2) evaluation of thrombus formation in aorta-aorta bypass (Ao-Ao bypass) pump
(3) chronic implantation of left atrialthoracic aorta bypass (LA-Ao bypass) pump for left ventricular failure
(4) development of newly blood pump for left ventricular-abdominal aorta bypass (LV-Ao bypass).
