“…Dennis R. Trumble (37) of Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA reported on the potential mechanisms for muscle-powered cardiac support. Studies show that energy from electrically stimulated skeletal muscle can, in principle, be used to provide tether-free cardiac assistance without the need for percutaneous drivelines or bulky energy transmission hardware.…”

In this Editor's Review, articles published in 2011 are organized by category and briefly summarized. As the official journal of The International Federation for Artificial Organs, The International Faculty for Artificial Organs, and the International Society for Rotary Blood Pumps, Artificial Organs continues in the original mission of its founders "to foster communications in the field of artificial organs on an international level."Artificial Organs continues to publish developments and clinical applications of artificial organ technologies in this broad and expanding field of organ replacement, recovery, and regeneration from all over the world. We take this time also to express our gratitude to our authors for offering their work to this journal. We offer our very special thanks to our reviewers who give so generously of time and expertise to review, critique, and especially provide meaningful suggestions to the author's work whether eventually accepted or rejected. Without these excellent and dedicated reviewers, the quality expected from such a journal would not be possible. We also express our special thanks to our Publisher, Wiley-Blackwell, for their expert attention and support in the production and marketing of Artificial Organs. In this Editor's Review, that historically has been widely well-received by our readership, we aim to provide a brief reflection of the currently available worldwide knowledge that is intended to advance and better human life while providing insight for continued application of technologies and methods of organ replacement, recovery, and regeneration. We look forward to recording further advances in the coming years.

Organ transplantation is a medical therapy that poses persistent risks of tissue rejection that are managed on a continual basis by immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporine, prednisone, and azathioprine. However, despite the effectiveness of these antirejection medications widespread application of this technology has been, and continues to be, severely limited by the shortage of suitable donor organs. Artificial organ systems constructed by man‐made materials have an advantage over tissue‐based therapies insofar as they are not subject to rejection problems or limited by organ availability. Still, the development and use of these synthetic devices present its own unique set of challenges that have yet to be completely overcome. The reason is simple. The heart, liver, kidney, and other internal organs perform functions that are not fully understood by modern science. Artificial organs for implant therefore provide, at best, an incomplete solution to a complex medical problem. While the use of artificial organs can be satisfactory in many cases, these interventions generally involve the implantation of nonbiological elements within the body, raising issues of biocompatibility, and requiring stringent sterilization protocols. Moreover, the use of implanted man‐made structures that contact with circulating blood (e.g., heart valves) has been associated with an increased incidence of thromboembolic events. This article considers the energy requirements and sensor/control aspects of artificial hearts and ventricular assist devices designed to augment blood flow and tissue perfusion levels provided by the failing heart.
