At the University of Tokyo, various types of total artificial heart (TAH) systems have been studied since 1959. At the present time, 2 types of implantable TAH have been developed. One is an undulation pump TAH (UPTAH) and the other is a flow transformed pulsatile TAH (FTPTAH). Using the UPTAH, 14 cases of implantation were performed in goats and 10 days' survival obtained. The new type of FTPTAH is under a prototype study. To prevent ring thrombus, a polyurethane membrane valve, a jellyfish valve, has been developed. The longest in vivo experiences with this valve in the TAH blood pump have been 312 days in the left side blood pump and 414 days in the right side blood pump. Conductance and arterial pressure based control (1/R control) can realize the physiological control of the TAH. Using 1/R control, 532 days of survival could be obtained in a goat with a paracorporeal TAH. The technique required to apply this control method to a implantable TAH is under development. We have proposed a new 5 year research project of the implantable TAH entitled "Comprehensive Basic Research on the Development of a Japanese Original Implantable Total Artificial Heart" to The Ministry of Welfare.
