The human heart is responsible for maintaining constant, pulsatile blood flow in the human body. Mock circulatory loops (MCLs) have long been used as the mechanical representations of the human cardiovascular system and as test beds for mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices and other interventional medical devices. This technology could also be used as a training and educational tool for surgeons/clinicians. To ensure the MCL can accurately simulate the pulsatile human cardiovascular system, it is essential that the MCL can reproduce human physiological responses, e.g., the Frank-Starling Mechanism, in a controllable operating environment. In this study, by using an elastance function template to control the simulated left ventricle, we created controllable pulsatile physiological flow in a 3D printed silicone vascular structure to successfully simulate the hemodynamic environment of the human cardiovascular system. Clinical Relevance- This work will provide an in vitro test platform to simulate the human cardiovascular system. The accurate simulation of human cardiovascular anatomy and hemodynamic environment will allow this device to be an ideal training/educational tool for surgeons/clinicians to recreate various physiological conditions that cannot be created in vivo in animal or cadaver models.
