Improving hydraulic performance of the left atrial assist device using computational fluid dynamics
The CFD results from this study provided insight into the key pump design-related parameters that can be adjusted to improve the LAAD's hydraulic performance and internal flow patterns. This work also provided a foundation for future studies assessing the LAAD's biocompatibility under clinical conditions.
