MODERNIZATION OF THE MOCK CIRCULATORY LOOP: ADVANCED PHYSICAL MODELING, HIGH PERFORMANCE HARDWARE, AND INCORPORATION OF ANATOMICAL MODELS
A systemic mock circulatory loop plays a pivotal role as the in vitro assessment tool for left heart medical devices. The standard design employed by many research groups dates to the early 1970's, and lacks the acuity needed for the advanced device designs currently being explored. The necessity …

Left Ventricle Assist Device
… research paper highlights the significance of mock circulatory loops in aiding the development and testing of left ventricle assist devices (LVADs). Heart disease is the leading cause of death in America, and LVAD offers an effective solution to patients with severe coronary artery disease who …

Determination of physiologic states during mechanical circulatory support through characterization of device-organ interactions
… by traditional medical therapy. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices unload the heart by offering a range of support that reduces mortality and promotes cardiac recovery when correctly used. The challenge in use of these devices is the lack of metric-driven control for the level of …

Development of a high-fidelity biorobotic cardiovascular in vitro simulator
… anatomy. This heart model is connected to a mock circulatory loop to represent the human circulatory system where pulsatile flow, and hemodynamic parameters such as flow and pressure in the heart and vasculature are recapitulated using our biorobotic heart as the active pump. Additional …
