Mechanism of Artificial Heart by Takashi Yamane - 1st ed. - Tokyo Springer Japan 2016 - 1 recurso en línea (X, 77 p.) 59 ilustraciones, 22 ilustraciones en color

Introduction -- What kinds of artificial heart are available? -- How do we select pump types? -- Selection of bearing types: Key to durability -- Motor, battery, and magnetic suspension -- Flow visualization and computational fluid dynamic analysis -- How do we select materials? -- Enhancement of hemocompatibility -- System evaluation -- Remarks and future aspects

This book first describes medical devices in relation to regenerative medicine before turning to a more specific topic: artificial heart technologies. Not only the pump mechanisms but also the bearing, motor mechanisms, and materials are described, including expert information. Design methods are described to enhance hemocompatibility: main concerns are reduction of blood cell damage and protein break, as well as prevention of blood clotting. Regulatory science from R&D to clinical trials is also discussed to verify the safety and efficacy of the devices
