Design diversity in artificial passive-active circulatory support systems

抄録

We have been developing several variations of circulatory assist systems based on nano or micro engineering technologies. One of the special features on the design of these new styles of circulatory assist devices will be a passive controllability according to the native signal transmission and hemodynamic response. In this study, we presented the design features and the research diversity for the development of passive-active circulatory support systems, such as artificial myocardial assist devices, circulatory valves, epi-cardial or vascular support systems.
