We are developing an axial flow blood pump with Nimbus Inc. (AxiPump). For in vivo evaluation the AxiPump has been used as a left ventricular assist device with a left ventricular and descending aorta cannulation and implantation in a small pocket on the left lateral abdominal wall just posterior to the costal margin. Electrical and flow probe leads exit the body transcutaneously. A purge line that delivers the purge fluid for lubrication of the seal between the rotor and stator bodies in the purge fluid bearing system is tunneled with the other leads. Following acute animal studies, 3 animals have been supported for over 1 month with this AxiPump system. All laboratory results were within normal limits except during a recovery period from surgical damage. Hemolysis was not a serious problem. In the first case, the purge system failed at 28 days, and in the second and third cases, the nonpurge bearing system worked well for 57 and 52 days, respectively. Bearings are still under development in this kind of pump. However, this success encourages us to improve the AxiPump as a long-term assist device.

D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. Complication, Postoperative,Complications, Postoperative,Postoperative Complication
D002404 Catheterization Use or insertion of a tubular device into a duct, blood vessel, hollow organ, or body cavity for injecting or withdrawing fluids for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It differs from INTUBATION in that the tube here is used to restore or maintain patency in obstructions. Cannulation,Cannulations,Catheterizations
