Abstract
In order to improve the results of total artificial heart (TAH) animal experiments, improvement of the surgical procedure to implant the TAH, employment of screw-in type connectors coupling a TAH with the natural tissue and rearrangement of the in- and outflow ports of the pump for adequate fitting were carried out. The cardiopulmonary bypass time was shortened to 164 min after the changes from 245 min before the improvement. The survival duration was prolonged to 18, 68 and 81 days. The degree of thrombus formation around the new type connectors was significantly reduced.
