Abstract

Historical trend of pump types for implantable ventricular assist devices is described from a pulsatile type to a rotary type, so-called first to third generations. Bearing systems governing durability of VAD are explained from mechanical bearings to non-contact bearings such as a magnetic bearing and a hydrodynamic bearing. Hemocompatibility is also described regarding hemolysis, thrombus formation, and VWF break from a fluid dynamic view point.

Key words

Ventricular assist device, Centrifugal pump, Hydrodynamic bearing, Hemocompatibility
