Abstract :
The mechanical circulatory support system using moving-actuator mechanisms were developed by Seoul National University and Korea University. AnyHeart is a fully implanted pulsatile bi-ventricular assist device, and T-PLS is a pulsatile flow versatile extracorporeal life support system. Through lots of in-vitro and in-vivo experiments, the developed mechanical systems are faced to produce on commercial scale. This paper describes the recent progress of two mechanical circulatory support systems, AnyHeart and T-PLS.
