ABSTRACT
The auxiliary total artificial heart (ATAH) is an electromechanically driven artificial heart with reduced dimensions, which is able to be implanted in the right thoracic or abdominal cavities of an average human patient without removing the natural heart or the heart neurohumoral inherent control mechanism for the arterial pressure. This device uses a brushless direct current motor and a mechanical actuator (roller screw) to move two diaphragms. The ATAH’s beating frequency is regulated through the change of the left preload, based on Frank- Starling’s law, assisting the native heart in obtaining adequate blood flow. The ATAH left and right stroke volumes are 38 ml and 34 ml, respectively, giving approximately 5 L/min of cardiac output at 160 bpm. Flow visualization studies were performed in critical areas on the ATAH left chamber. A closed circuit loop was used with water and glycerin (37%) at 25°C. Amberlite particles (80 mesh) were illuminated by a 1 mm planar helium-neon laser light.With left mean preload fixed at 10mmHg and the afterload at 100mmHg, the heart rate varied from 60 to 200 bpm. Two porcine valves were used on the inlet and outlet ports. The flow pattern images were obtained using a color microcamera and a video recorder. Subsequently, these images were digitized using a PC computer. A persistent stagnant flow was detected in the left chamber inlet port. After improvement on the left chamber design, this stagnant flow disappeared. Key Words Total artificial heart— Ventricle assist device—Cardiac output—Mock circulation system—Flow visualization...
