Features: This book is divided into three parts, totaling 28 chapters. Part I covers the general principles of cardiac assist circulation, including the history of cardiac assist circulation, pathophysiological changes during cardiac assist, the selection of cardiac assist devices, anesthesia, perioperative management, postoperative rehabilitation, follow-up observations, etc. Part II introduces the research and current clinical applications of various external cardiac assist devices. These devices have external blood pumps, including centrifugal pumps, Abiomed BVS5000 pumps, Thoratec pumps, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) devices, BerlinHeart pumps, and the Luo Ye pump. Part III presents the research and current clinical applications of various implantable cardiac assist devices. These devices have blood pumps that can be implanted into the body, including intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP), Novacor pumps, Thermo pumps, axial flow pumps, DeaBakey pumps, and total artificial hearts. This book focuses on ventricular assist devices and does not cover extracorporeal circulation assistance. Currently, there are no specialized books on ventricular assist circulation in China. This book is suitable for clinical physicians, graduate students engaged in cardiovascular surgery, cardiology, and pediatrics, as well as specialists in cardiac resuscitation rooms, anesthesiology departments, extracorporeal circulation departments, echocardiography departments, radiology departments, and biomedical engineering researchers specializing in cardiovascular diseases.
