Heart failure is a major health risk, and with limited availability of donor organs, there is an
increasing need for developing cardiac assist devices (CADs). Mock circulatory loops (MCL) …

Abstract Introduction Mock circulatory loops (MCLs) are mechanical representations of the
cardiovascular system largely used to test the hemodynamic performance of cardiovascular …

In vitro cardiovascular device performance evaluation in a mock circulation loop (MCL) is a
necessary step prior to in vivo testing. A MCL that accurately represents the physiology of …

This paper presents a novel mock circulation for the evaluation of ventricular assist devices
(VADs), which is based on a hardware-in-the-loop concept. A numerical model of the human …

Goal: This work presents the development of a Hybrid Mock Circulatory Loop (HMCL) to
simulate hemodynamics at patient-specific level in terms of both 3D geometry and …

Rotary blood pumps are emerging as a viable technology for total artificial hearts, and the
development of physiological control algorithms is accelerated with new evaluation …

Mock circulatory loops (MCLs) are usually developed for assessment of ventricular assist
devices and consist of abstracted anatomical structures represented by connecting tubing …

Aims A hybrid mock circulatory loop (MCL) was developed for total artificial heart (TAH)
performance evaluation. The hybrid MCL consists of hydraulic hardware components and a …

The paper presents a hybrid (hydro-numerical) circulatory model built to be used as a
complementary tool for clinical purposes. It was developed at the Institute of Biocybernetics …

This paper presents a technique for evaluating the performance of biomedical devices by
combining physical (mechanical) testing with a numerical, computerised model of a …
