RESUMO

The Pennsylvania State University (PSU) Child Pump, a centrifugal continuous-flow ventricular assist device (cf-VAD), is being developed as a suitable long-term implantable device for pediatric heart failure patients between 10 and 35 kg, body surface area (BSA) of 0.5-1.2 m 2 , 1-11 years of age, and requiring a mean cardiac output of 1.0-3.5 L/min. In-vitro hydraulic and hemodynamic performances were evaluated on a custom mock circulatory loop with ovine blood. Normalized index of hemolysis (NIH) was evaluated under four conditions: 1) 8,300 rpm, 3.5 L/min, Δ P = 60 mm Hg, 2) 8,150 rpm, 5.1 L/min, Δ P = 20 mm Hg, 3) 8,400 rpm, 3.2 L/min, Δ P = 70 mm Hg, and 4) 9,850 rpm, 5.0 L/min, Δ P = 80 mm Hg, resulting in normalized index of hemolysis = 0.027 ± 0.013, 0.015 ± 0.006, 0.016 ± 0.008, and 0.026 ± 0.011 mg/dl, respectively. A mock fit study was conducted using a three-dimensional printed model of a 19 kg patient's thoracic cavity to compare the size of the PSU Child Pump to the HeartMate3 and the HVAD. Results indicate the PSU Child Pump will be a safer, appropriately sized device capable of providing the given patient cohort proper support while minimizing the risks of blood trauma as they wait for a transplant.

RESUMO

The loss of high molecular weight multimers (HMWM) of von Willebrand factor (vWF) in aortic stenosis (AS) and continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (cf-LVADs) is believed to be associated with high turbulent blood shear. The objective of this study is to understand the degradation mechanism of HMWM in terms of exposure time (kinetic) and flow regime (dynamics) within clinically relevant pathophysiologic conditions. A custom high-shear rotary device capable of creating fully controlled exposure times and flows was used. The system was set so that human platelet-poor plasma flowed through at 1.75 ml/sec, 0.76 ml/sec, or 0.38 ml/sec resulting in the exposure time ( texp ) of 22, 50, or 100 ms, respectively. The flow was characterized by the Reynolds number (Re). The device was run under laminar (Re = 1,500), transitional (Re = 3,000; Re = 3,500), and turbulent (Re = 4,500) conditions at a given texp followed by multimer analysis. No degradation was observed at laminar flow at all given texp . Degradation of HMWM at a given texp increases with the Re. Re ( p < 0.0001) and texp ( p = 0.0034) are significant factors in the degradation of HMWM. Interaction between Re and texp , however, is not always significant ( p = 0.73).
