Ascending Aorta Outflow Graft Location and Pulsatile Ventricular Assist Provide Optimal Hemodynamic Support in an Adult Mock Circulation

:  Although continuous flow (CF) and pulsatile flow (PF) ventricular assist devices (VADs) are being clinically used, their effects on aortic blood flow, as a measure of overall blood distribution, remain unclear. In acute VAD support animal experiments, our group has described a zone of turbulent m...
