Initial hydrodynamic study on a new intraaortic axial flow pump: Dynamic aortic valve

Rotary blood pumps have been researched as implantable ventricular assist devices for years. To further reduce the complex of implanted axial pumps, the authors proposed a new concept of intraaortic axial pump, termed previously as "dynamic aortic valve (DAV)". Instead of being driven by an intraaortic micro-electric motor, it was powered by a magnetic field from outside of body. To ensure the perfusion of coronary artery, the axial flow pump is to be implanted in the position of aortic valve. It could serve as either a blood pump or a mechanical valve depending on the power input. This research tested the feasibility of the new concept in model study. A column, made from permanent magnet, is jointed to an impeller in a concentric way to form a "rotor-impeller". Supported by a hanging shaft cantilevered in the center of a rigid cage, the rotor-impeller can be turned by the magnetic field in the surrounding space. In the present prototype, the rotor is 8 mm in diameter and 15 mm in length, the impeller ha     

一种新型动脉内轴流泵--动力性主动脉瓣的流体力学特性的初步研究

提出一种用动脉内轴流泵进行左心辅助的新设想棗动力性主动脉瓣. "动力性主动脉瓣"的基本设计思想是将一推进叶轮植入到主动脉瓣的位置, 由体外提供的电磁场驱动, 根据输入功率的不同分别发挥机械性瓣膜或辅助性血泵两种不同的功能. 该装置采用了轴流泵和机械性心脏瓣膜的结构和工作原理. 由固定于磁性转子上的推进叶轮和起支承作用的刚性支架笼组成. 磁性转子和叶轮构成"转子-叶轮体", 此"转子-叶轮体"由动脉壁外的交变磁场提供动力, 磁场源可设置于体外. 制作了动力瓣的样机, 并在模拟回路中进行了测试. 在12 600 r/min的条件下, 后负荷为100 mmHg (1 mmHg = 1.333 22×102 Pa)时, 流量达5 L/min. 动力瓣可维持的最高压差为147 mmHg. 此研究结果初步表明动力瓣设想的可行性.
