A Valveless Pulsatile Pump for the Treatment of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Simulation Study

ConclusionsIn this simulation study, the valveless pulsatile device improves hemodynamics in HFpEF patients by increasing the total stroke volume. The hemodynamic benefits are achieved with a small device volume comparable to implantable rotary blood pumps.
