| Research Abstract |
The mechanical heart assist device is necessary to use with the treatment of chronic heart failure such as gene therapy and regenerative therapy. In this study, we invented the folding heart pulsation assist device which was installed with the video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The device was composed of the balloon, vacuum pads, and pneumatic drive system. It is suggested that this device could assist cardiac output by animal experiment.
