Estudos de técnicas de texturização e biolização, e desempenho biológico in vitro e in vivo em membrana para um dispositivo de assistência ventricular e coração artificial totalmente implantáveis / Studies of techniques applied to make a textured and biolized surface diaphragm, and biological performance in vitro and in vivo in a membrane of a ventricle assist device and total artificial heart fully implantable

Foi desenvolvido um diafragma de elevada vida útil e biocompatibilidade a ser utilizado em um dispositivo de assistência ventricular esquerda(DAV) eletromecânico de dimensões reduzidas e totalmente implantável. Foi realizado teste de resistência do diafragma de poliuretana com superfície texturizada. O teste avaliou sua resistência para experimentos In Vivo de até quinze dias com o DAV implantado em bezerro. Uma superfície de endotélio natural tem excelente tromboresistência. A quantidade e as características da neointima formada em um DAV são determinadas pela superfície do material, hemodinâmica e condições físico-patológicas. O implante de patch na aorta abdominal de porco isola as variáveis que normalmente estão presentes durante a utilização do DAV e que interferem na hemocompatibilidade do material. A avaliação das características do material foi obtida com o seu implante na parede da aorta descendente em contato com o fluxo sanguíneo. Diferentes tipos de superfície de contato foram avaliadas em sete experimentos In Vivo. Este estudo está voltado para as reações de interface sangue / material. Um estudo histológico foi realizado ao final de cada experimento para analisar as interações entre o sangue e o material, quantificando e qualificando a intima neo formada sobre a superfície de contato, calcificação e deposições de elementos constituintes do sangue / It has been developed a high lifetime and biocompatible diaphragm to be used in a Left Ventricle Assist Device (LVAD) that is a reduced dimension totally implantable electromechanical device. It has been performed an endurance test on a textured diaphragm made of polyurethane. This test has evaluated the diaphragm resistance to be used in In Vivo tests with the LVAD implanted for fifteen days in calves. A natural endothelial cell surface has excellent thromboresistant characteristics. The quantity and the characteristics of the neointima formed into LVAD are determined by the material surface, hemodynamics of the blood through the device, and the physico-pathological conditions. The patch implantation into the abdominal aorta of pigs has isolated some normal variables that usually are present during LVAD utilization and that may interfere on the material biocompatibility. The evaluation of the material’s characteristics has been enhanced through its implantation at the descending aorta wall in contact with blood flow. Different kinds of contact surfaces of specific polyurethane are tested in seven In Vivo experiments. This study is totally focused in the reaction of the blood-material interface. A histogical study is performed in the end of every animal experiment to analyze the interactions between blood and biomaterial. It’s emphasized the quantification and qualification of the neointima over the blood contact surface, calcification, and blood depositions

Computational fluid dynamics investigation of the orientation of a pediatric left ventricle assist device cannula to reduce stroke events

Guimond, Stephen 01 December 2012 (has links)
Ventricle Assist Devices (VADs), which are typically either axial or centrifugal flow pumps implanted on the aortic arch, have been used to support patients who are awaiting cardiac transplantation. Success of the apparatus in the short term has led to long term use. Despite anticoagulation measures, blood clots (thrombi) have been known to form in the device itself or inside of the heart. The Ventricle Assist Devices supply blood flow via a conduit (cannula) implanted on the ascending aorta. Currently, the implantation angle of the VAD cannula is not taken into consideration. Since the VADs supply a significant amount of blood flow to the aorta, the implantation angle can greatly affect the trajectory of the formed thrombi as well as the cardiac flow field inside of the aortic arch. This study aims to vary the implantation angle of a pediatric Left Ventricle Assist Device (LVAD) through a series of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software simulations focusing on the aortic arch and its branching arteries of a 20 kg pediatric patient in order to reduce the occurrence of stroke.
