A new type of blood pump was tested in calves for 6 hours. The pump consists of a rigid housing with a trochoidal internal surface, an inlet and outlet, and two lateral walls. A two-corner piston rotating on an eccentric shaft, describes a trochoidal path, thus creating a gap seal, the gap measuring a constant 10-35 microns. The pump is driven by a watercooled DC motor. For right ventricular assist, a cannula is inserted into the right ventricle through the right atrium, and into the left ventricle for left ventricular assists. From a total of 10 experiments, two left ventricular assists, two right ventricular assists, and three biventricular assists were evaluated. The pump produced a pulsatile flow of 31 at 70 rpm. Energy requirements were 2.19 watts for left, 2.06 for right, and 7.26 for biventricular assists. Plasma hemoglobin remained as low as 10 mg/dl during monoventricular, and increased during biventricular assists to 20 mg/dl after 3 hours, and returned to 16 mg/dl after 6 hours. From these preliminary results it is concluded that this new rotary blood pump may be suitable as a circulatory assist device.
