The approach to placement of a continuous-flow intracorporeal ventricular assist device in small left ventricle

JHLT Open
Background: The HeartMate 3 (HM3) has become among the most widely utilized durable left ventricular (LV) assist devices (LVAD) owing to reduced rates of pump thrombosis, bleeding, and stroke.

Phenotyping hemodynamic response to veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in cardiogenic shock

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 11, June 2026.
Abstract Simulation models suggest that veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) uniformly results in left ventricular (LV) distension in cardiogenic shock (CS). This study characterized the hemodynamic response to VA ECMO in animal models of CS, and in patients with CS.

Fluid-mechanics Simulations of Ventricular Function under LVAD Support

, 2010
LVAD implantation is often used to assist patients suffering heart failure. These devices profoundly alter ventricular behaviour, however, the precise impact on the myocardium and on ventricular blood flow remains unknown.
