Comparative Study[Effect of various assist pumps on recovering the ventricular function].
With the authors' diaphragm pump and pulsatile as well as nonpulastile impeller pumps, and the clinically used Sarns Roller, both left ventricular assist and biventricular assist experiments were performed on mini pigs and calves. The results demonstrate that the pulsatile impeller pump is the best assist pump for recovering the heart function, because it maintains the pulsatility of aortic pressure by heart failure and thus increases the circulation volume, and it enlarges the diastolic pressure so as to increase the perfusion in coronary artery because it has no backflow.
