Development of an axial flow ventricular assist device using computational fluid dynamics and particle image velocimetry measurement

Due to the limited heart donors available, there are many people with end-stage heart disease who die every year. Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) are thus, developed to maximize the survival and minimize the morbidity of these patients. Axial flow VADs have gained tremendous interests due to its s...
