Resumen:
Right, left or biventricular assistance are currently used in severe heart failure as a bridge to cardiac transplant, long-term devices, myocardial recovering or destination therapy. Pneumatic assist devices provide a significant improvement of circulatory failure in acute myocardial depression (intra-aortic balloon pumping) and an adequate chronic support (Excor-Berlin Heart). Moreover, the SynCardia total artificial heart (pneumatic) is, as the Excor, indicated as an alternative therapy in patients waiting a cardiac transplant. Pneumatic assist devices used in severe heart failure are currently considered as a low-cost strategy to obtain a prompt recovery of blood circulation. In this research we analyzed the characteristics of three pneumatic assist devices commercially available and hypothesized about the possibility of manufacturing a multipurpose low cost console to drive them.
