Preservation of native aortic valve flow and full hemodynamic support with the TORVAD using a computational model of the cardiovascular system
This article describes the stroke volume selection and operational design for the toroidal
ventricular assist device (TORVAD), a synchronous, positive-displacement ventricular assist
device (VAD). A lumped parameter model was used to simulate hemodynamics with the
TORVAD compared with those under continuous-flow VAD support. Results from the
simulation demonstrated that a TORVAD with a 30 ml stroke volume ejecting with an early
diastolic counterpulse provides comparable systemic support to the HeartMate II …
