Axial ventricular assist devices: A review focused on magnetic levitation, speed control and packaging

Ventricular assist devices (VADs) have played a major role in mitigating end stage cardiovascular diseases as a bridge to transplant or as a long-term solution. The axial flow maglev blood pump has become the core in research for mechanical circulatory devices owing to its compact size, low thrombos...

Description
Summary:Ventricular assist devices (VADs) have played a major role in mitigating end stage cardiovascular diseases as a bridge to transplant or as a long-term solution. The axial flow maglev blood pump has become the core in research for mechanical circulatory devices owing to its compact size, low thrombosis and low hemolysis. This review provides a scientific basis for introducing the Magnetic Levitation (Maglev) technology used in VADs and effective speed control through sensors as well as algorithmic approach used. Packaging of sensors to improve the hemocompatibility of VADs and biocompatibility implantable sensors has also been discussed.
