Development of a Pulsatile Flow-Generating Circulatory Assist Device (K-Beat) For Use with Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in a Pig Model Study

Development of a Pulsatile Flow-Generating Circulatory Assist Device (K-Beat) For Use with Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in a Pig Model Study

Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) preserves the life of heart failure patients by providing an adequate oxygen supply and blood flow to vital organs. For patients with severe cardiogenic shock secondary to acute myocardial infarction or acute myocarditis, V-A ECMO is commo...
