A multipurpose circulatory support system has been developed as both a temporary and permanent device in total artificial hearts (TAHs) and ventricular assist devices (VADs). The multipurpose concept was derived from the development of a totally implantable electromechanical, one-piece TAH. The blood pump is pneumatically driven in short-term use and is electromechanically driven in long-term or permanent use. Both TAH and VAD versions consist of the same components, except for the actuation mechanism. The common components are a compact pumping chamber with the same configuration, a blood contacting surface biolized with gelatin, a pusher-plate, a Hexsyn rubber diaphragm (University of Akron, Akron, OH) and bovine pericardial valves. Both TAHs and VADs have 63 ml of stroke volume, and the VADs are compact compared with other available investigational device exemption devices. Currently, 1 week survival has been achieved using the electromechanical TAH and 2 week survival using the electromechanimcal VAD without anticoagulation. Results suggest that the currently developed system could be applied in varied patients as a temporary device after cardiotomy, a long-term device for bridge to transplantation, or a permanent device for end-stage heart disease.
