Control of ventricular unloading using an electrocardiogram-synchronized Thoratec paracorporeal ventricular assist device

, 2013
OBJECTIVE: Current pulsatile ventricular assist devices operate asynchronous with the left ventricle in fixed-rate or fill-to-empty modes because electrocardiogram-triggered modes have been abandoned. We hypothesize that varying the ejection delay in the
