First evaluation of a novel pulsatile LVAD: Feasibility and haemodynamic impact in acute heart failure

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 6, Page 4171-4183, December 2025.
The pulsatile ventricular assist platform (pVAP) was connected to a membrane pump in six large swine models. The system, driven by a conventional intra‐aortic balloon pump console (IABP), was utilized to drain left atrial blood during systole and to eject the collected blood back into the ascending aorta during diastole.
