RESUMO

PURPOSE: For pediatric patients, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains the predominant mechanical circulatory support (MCS) modality for heart failure (HF) although survival to discharge rates remain between 50 and 60% for these patients. The device-blood interface and disruption of physiologic hemodynamics are significant contributors to poor outcomes. METHODS: In this study, we evaluate the preclinical feasibility of a minimally invasive, non-blood-contacting pediatric DCC prototype for temporary MCS. Proof-of-concept is demonstrated in vivo in an animal model of HF. Hemodynamic pressures and flows were examined. RESULTS: Minimally invasive deployment on the beating heart was successful without cardiopulmonary bypass or anticoagulation. During HF, device operation resulted in an immediate 43% increase in cardiac output while maintaining pulsatile hemodynamics. Compared to the pre-HF baseline, the device recovered up to 95% of ventricular stroke volume. At the conclusion of the study, the device was easily removed from the beating heart. CONCLUSIONS: This preclinical proof-of-concept study demonstrated the feasibility of a DCC device on a pediatric scale that is minimally invasive and non-blood contacting, with promising hemodynamic support and durability for the initial intended duration of use. The ability of DCC to maintain pulsatile MCS without blood contact represents an opportunity to mitigate the mortality and morbidity observed in non-pulsatile, blood-contacting MCS.
