| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Long-term mechanical support systems development resources are needed for the surgical treatment of congenital heart failure. We employed a small-sized nano-tech Ni-Ti shape memory alloy fibre as an implantable actuator for the mechanical circulatory support. We focused on the development of two types of implantable devices; a) a right ventricular external contraction support belt, and b) a Fontan circulation active support system that could be used with the total cavopulmonary connection. We examined the systems function in the originally designed mock circulatory system with a silicone-rubber right ventricular model as well as in the animal models. As a result of this study, it was indicated that the micro actuation system for congenital heart failure support could be useful to exhibit the hemodynamic effect for the totally implantable system design.
