| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Pump thrombus remains the weak point of mechanical circulatory support. We have developed a new method for optical continuous monitoring of pump thrombus. This study applied a gyro centrifugal pump. The top pivot bearing is an area at particularly high risk of thrombus formation due to the stagnation of circulating blood. We used visible and near-infrared spectroscopy. The top bearing was illuminated directly overhead by a xenon lamp guided by the incident optical fiber. The scattered light was detected by the detection optical fiber placed at right angles to the incident optical fiber, and was analyzed using a spectrophotometer connected to the detection optical fiber.
The system succeeded in real-time monitoring of thrombus formation for both in-vitro and animal experiments using swine as a left ventricular assist device model. This method showed the feasibility of non-invasive, continuous monitoring of pump thrombus without the influence of either oxygen saturation or hematocrit.
