| Research Abstract |
Development of a total artificial heart using rotary blood pump has been carried out. In prototype pump, contactless operation due to the hydrodynamic bearing was confirmed. The size of the pump was 69mm diameter and 35mm height, and the diameter of the impeller was 44mm. There is a possibility of miniaturization and weight saving because of achievement of high efficiency. Acute animal experiments were performed, we success fully maintained blood flow in normal range.
