Centrifugal Ventricular Assist Devices
AACN Advanced Critical Care, 1991A centrifugal ventricular assist device (VAD) uses centrifugal force to propel blood through nonocclusive pumpheads. Blood is diverted from either the right atrium or left atrium to a disposable pumphead. Then kinetic energy is added to blood contained within the VAD by rotating it at high speed.
