Acoustic Analysis of a Mechanical Circulatory Support [PDF]
Artificial Organs, 2013 Mechanical circulatory support technology is continually improving. However, adverse complications do occur with devastating consequences, for example, pump thrombosis that may develop in several parts of the pump system. The aim of this study was to design an experimental clot/thrombosis model to register and analyze acoustic signals from the left ...
