DYNAMICS OF BALLOONS IN INTRAAORTIC COUNTERPULSATION [PDF]
To optimize intraaortic balloon pulsation, the inflation and deflation mechanisms of different intraaortic balloons were studied in a model aorta with pressure volume characteristics approximating those of a natural aorta and in anesthetized dogs by cineangiography.

An update on enhanced external counterpulsation [PDF]
The development of advanced revascularization techniques has resulted in the growth of a subset of patients with coronary artery disease who are nonrevascularizable and are considered to have refractory angina. Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) has been developed for the management of these patients with chronic, refractory disease.

The Effects of Enhanced External Counterpulsation on Cardiac Electrophysiologic Properties of Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease and Refractory Angina at Function Class II-III [PDF]
Introduction: Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive circulatory assist device that has been recently emerged as a treatment option for refractory angina or left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. The aims of this study were to examine the

Exploiting Device Deformability for Fluid and Particle Manipulation
Deformable devices enable fluid and particle manipulation modes that are inaccessible to rigid platforms. This review examines soft materials and architectures that translate controlled deformation into microscale fluid operations such as pumping, valving, mixing, and particle handling.
