10. Progress toward an Orthotopic Cardiac Prosthesis

Author

Kennedy, J. H., Debakey, M. E., Akers, W. W., Ross, J. N., O'bannon, W., Baker, L. E., Greenberg, S. D., Wieting, D. W., Lewis, C. W., Adachi, M., Alfrey, C. P., Spargo, W. J., and Fuqua, J. M.

Abstract

This is a report emanating from a 31-member interdisciplinary group, some with 10 years experience in artificial heart research. The development of an implantable, biventicular orthotopic cardiac prosthesis is described, and the result of 24 calf experiments are summarized. Rather than pursuing solely long-term survival, the team has sought an understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms which have limited the duration of such experiments to date.

Abstract

The theory of fluid flow in compliant tubes developed in a previous paper is applied to a catheter, and the results of various calculations are compared with experiment. When a parabola is used for the unknown velocity profile, the calculated gains are too high. Agreement is slightly improved by using more reasonable profiles. It is shown that there exists a functional relationship between the parameter gamma and the nondimensional parameter alpha(10) which gives reasonable agreements with all the experimental data considered. The theory of Womersley is applied to the catheter, and the calculated gains are larger than those observed experimentally. A form for the frictional force suggested by Lambossy is used in some further calculations.
