Long-Term renal function after implantation of continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices: A single center study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2021
Background: Implantable continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) improve renal function in advanced heart failure. However, the long-term effects of LVAD on renal function have not been investigated thoroughly.

Synergistic effect of shear and ADP on platelet growth on ZTA and Ti6Al4V surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Continuous-flow ventricular assist devices (VADs) have been an increasingly common, life-saving therapy for advanced heart-failure patients, but elevate the risk of thrombosis due to a combination of non-physiological hemodynamics and synthetic biomaterials.

A Universal and Versatile Zwitterionic Coating for Blood‐Contacting Catheters with Long Lengths and Complex Geometries

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A universal and versatile zwitterion coating strategy is developed for blood‐contacting catheters with long lengths and complex geometries. The coating exhibits near‐zero fouling, superior anticoagulation, and selective biocapturing properties while maintaining excellent stability under dynamic blood flow.

In Vitro Durability - Pivot bearing with Diamond Like Carbon for Ventricular Assist Devices [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
Institute Dante Pazzanese of Cardiology (IDPC) develops Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD) that can stabilize the hemodynamics of patients with severe heart failure before, during and/or after the medical practice; can be temporary or permanent. The ADV's centrifugal basically consist of a rotor suspended for system pivoting bearing; the PIVOT is the ...

Depth‐Customizable 3D Electrode Array for Recording Functional Connectivity in the Brain

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, a depth‐adjustable, flexible 3D multi‐shank electrode array that produces precise neural recordings at various brain depths is developed. Integrating 2D flexible electrode arrays with a modular supporting board allowed the insertion depth to be easily adjusted without re‐fabrication.

Design, Modeling, and Control of a Soft Robotic Diaphragm‐Assist Device in a Respiratory Simulator

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A soft robotic diaphragm‐assist device using fabric‐based pneumatic actuators with a 2‐step control system to optimize synchronization and support is introduced. This system can detect the initiation of breathing to trigger assistance and regulate pressures to provide the correct level of inhalation augmentation. Validation and testing are completed on

Relationship between device acceptance and patient-reported outcomes in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The number of Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) implanted each year is rising. Nevertheless, there are minimal data on device acceptance after LVAD implant, and on its relationship with patient-reported outcomes. We designed a cross-sectional study
