In-vitro investigation of the hemodynamic responses of the cerebral, coronary and renal circulations with a rotary blood pump installed in the descending aorta
A cardiovascular simulator replicating accurate flowrates and pressure traces. Simulation of regional autoregulation in cerebral, coronary and renal circulations. A novel mechanism to simulate coronary perfusion in diastole and systole. An MCS device is inserted in the descending aorta and effects are investigated.
