BACKGROUNDIt is now accepted that 70% to 80% of patients with end-stage heart failure would benefit from a permanent implanted left ventricular assist device. Previously there was little consideration of the use of nonpulsatile pumps for this function.METHODSAn extensive 5-year engineering research and development program to develop a permanent implanted nonpulsatile blood pump has been undertaken.RESULTSWe have developed a continuous-flow blood pump of small size (207 g) and low power requirement (6.5 watts) producing 5 L/min flow with low hemolysis.CONCLUSIONSThis pump has the potential to be the basis of an innovative ventricular assist system.
