| Research Abstract |
An originally-designed mock circulatory system (MCS) has been developed in order to evaluate functions of several types of artificial organs for the surgical treatment of cardiovascular deseases. The features of the present MCS has a capability of exhibiting a practical simulation of hemodynamics in aortic vascular prostheses, and of having a mechanical feasibility of the natural left ventricular contraction by the computer-based control.
As mechanical properties of arterial vascular grafts are different from those of elastic natural arteries, it can be speculated that the left ventricular afterload might be elevated after the graft implantation due to its low compliance. By switching blood flow to a bypass graft which was inserted in parallel with the natural descending aorta of dog, the characteristic impedance was elevated by 2.6 times, furthermore, the cardiac output was decreased by 14%, and the cardiac work calculated from the pressure-volume relationships in the left ventricle, was increased by 1.5 times. MCS was also employed to represent hemodynamic characteristics as well as to compare the data with those in animal experiments. When the flow was set to 4L/min in MCS by the mechanical driven pump, either characteristic impedance of the arterial system or external work of the left ventricular model was increased by 2.4 or 1.5 times, respectively. Thus, it was anticipated that the external cardiac work would be elevated by the increase of the arterial impedance after the graft implantation.
