Retrieval and analysis of a clinical total artificial heart

Examination by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and x‐ray microanalysis of a clinical total artificial heart (TAH) implanted for 112 days revealed no evidence of calcification, pannus, or vegetative thrombus. A macroscopic thrombus was seen along the suture line in the right atr...

Zusammenfassung:Examination by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and x‐ray microanalysis of a clinical total artificial heart (TAH) implanted for 112 days revealed no evidence of calcification, pannus, or vegetative thrombus. A macroscopic thrombus was seen along the suture line in the right atrium but did not obstruct blood flow or valve function. Microscopic thrombi (
