This in vitro comparative study demonstrated that the HeartMate 3 pump has a superior overall hemocompatibility profile to the HeartMate 2 pump, underscoring the advantages of the maglev centrifugal pump design compared to the axial pump design. ABSTRACT Background Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have been utilized to maintain the circulatory ...

Simultaneous Ex Situ Normothermic Perfusion of Paired Kidneys in Pigs
This pig model of simultaneous perfusion of paired kidneys in normothermia suggests that intra‐individual variation is relatively low, enabling one kidney to be employed as a reliable comparator of the other kidney for assessing treatments before kidney transplantation.

Development of a Protocol for Long‐Term Ex Vivo Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Rodent Livers
Long‐term normothermic machine perfusion (LT‐NMP) is the next revolution in liver transplantation and could support grafts for days, and potentially weeks. A rodent model of LT‐NMP is important for laboratory research, but has not been achieved until now. Our study describes a protocol for LT‐NMP of rodent livers.

Physiological Control of Realheart Total Artificial Heart
This study evaluates the Realheart Total Artificial Heart's preload‐based physiological controller, which dynamically adjusts heart rate and stroke volume to mimic the heart's natural responses during sleep, rest, and exercise using a hybrid mock circulation loop of the cardiovascular system.

Ghost cells as two‐phase blood analog fluid enable us to monitor thrombus growth through the implementation of particle image velocimetry. In this proof of principle study, we grew thrombi in the Food and Drug Administration pump and were able to monitor their growth from a first thrombus thread to a complete obstruction of the flow.
