Despite decades of research related to hemolysis, the accuracy of prediction algorithms for
complex flows leaves much to be desired. Fundamental questions remain about how …

Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) procedures, such as cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), take over the function of one or more …

Ventricular assist devices (VADs), among which the HeartMate 3 (HM3) is the latest clinically
approved representative, are often the therapy of choice for patients with end‐stage heart …

Centrifugal blood pumps have become popular for adult extracorporeal membrane
oxygenation (ECMO) due to their superior blood handling and reduced thrombosis risk …

Due to the unavailability of donors, the use of left ventricular assist devices has emerged to
be a reliable line of alternative treatment for heart failure. However, ventricular assist devices …

Shear-induced platelet activation is one of the critical outcomes when blood is exposed to
elevated shear stress. Excessively activated platelets in the circulation can lead to thrombus …

A centrifugal blood pump is a common type of the pump used as a left ventricular assist
device (LVAD) in the medical industries. The reduction of the LVADs hemolysis level to …

The present study is set out to systematically investigate the combined impact of operational,
geometrical, and model uncertainties on the hemodynamics and performance …

A centrifugal blood pump is a common type of pump used as a left ventricular assist device
in the medical industries. Therefore, the improvement of the device bio-compatibility to …

Cardiac disease and clinical intervention may both lead to an increased risk for thrombosis
events due to a modified blood flow in the heart, and thereby a change in the mechanical …
