Numerical Analysis of Blood Damage Potential of the HeartMate II and HeartWare HVAD Rotary Blood Pumps

Abstract: Implantable left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) became the therapy of choice in treating end-stage heart failure. Although survival improved substantially and is similar in currently clinically implanted LVADs HeartMate II (HM II) and HeartWare HVAD, complications related to blood trauma are frequently observed. The aim of this study was to compare these two pumps regarding their potential blood trauma employing computational fluid dynamics. High-resolution structured grids were generated for the pumps.

“…Thamsen et al used computational fluid dynamic simulations to model the flow in the HMII and HVAD pumps to understand the blood damage potential of CF devices (21, 22). They calculated the volume of blood above approximate thresholds for vWF unfolding (9 Pa), platelet activation (50 Pa), and hemolysis (150 Pa) as a way of quantifying the damage potential of a device.…”

“…Interestingly, limited insight exists as to their efficacy in inhibiting mechanical agonists such as physical stimuli (i.e., shear stress), which are dominant drivers of thrombosis in VADs. Indeed, VADs are characterized by narrow geometries, where flowing blood undergoes rapid accelerations and platelets are subjected to non-physiologic, extreme levels of shear stress and fast dynamics, as reported in different numerical studies in which the fluid dynamics in real devices was simulated [9,10]. In particular, in the study by Chiu and co-authors [10], shear stress patterns along platelet trajectories in two commercial axial VADs were analyzed under normal operating conditions, corresponding to a cardiac output of 4 L/min: such patterns of shear stress are characterized by peaks of shear magnitude in the range 100–300 Pa, significantly higher than physiological values (1 – 5 Pa).…”

“…Esses modelos têm sido amplamente utilizados, principalmente a equação (1.2), nas simulações computacionais, embora sejam bastante observados resultados superestimados em, no mínimo, uma ordem de grandeza (De Wachter e Verdonck, (Arora et al, 2004), , (Behbahani et al, 2009), (Yu et al, 2017). Apesar disto, o seu uso ainda tem sido considerado pelos engenheiros para tarefas de comparação e otimização de projetos (Thamsen et al, 2015).…”
