Abstract
Objective Severe biventricular heart failure (BHF) can be remedied using a biventricular assist device (BVAD). Two devices are currently in development: a universal ventricular assist device (UVAD), which will be able to assist either the left, right, or both ventricles, and a continuous-flow total artificial heart (CFTAH), which replaces the entire heart. In this study, the in vitro hemodynamic performances of two UVADs are compared to a CFTAH acting as a BVAD. Methods For this experiment, a biventricular mock circulatory loop utilizes two pneumatic pumps (Abiomed AB5000™, Danvers, MA, USA), in conjunction with a dual-output driver, to create heart failure (HF) conditions (left, LHF; right, RHF; biventricular, BHF). Systolic BHF for four different situations were replicated. In each situation, CFTAH and UVAD devices were installed and operated at two distinct speeds, and cannulations for ventricular and atrial connections were evaluated. Results Both CFTAH and UVAD setups achieved our recommended hemodynamic criteria. The dual-UVAD arrangement yielded a better atrial balance to alleviate LHF and RHF. For moderate and severe BHF scenarios, CFTAH and dual UVADs both created excellent atrial pressure balance. Conversely, when CFTAH was atrial cannulated for LHF and RHF, the needed atrial pressure balance was not met. Conclusion Comprehensive in vitro testing of two different BVAD setups exhibited self-regulation and exceptional pump performance for both (single- and dual-device) BHF support scenarios. For treating moderate and severe BHF, UVAD and CFTAH both functioned well with respect to atrial pressure regulation and cardiac output. Though, the dual-UVAD setup yielded a better atrial pressure balance in all BHF testing scenarios.

Abstract
Biventricular assist device (BVAD) implantation is the treatment of choice in patients with severe biventricular heart failure and cardiogenic shock. Our team has developed a miniaturized continuous flow, double-ended centrifugal pump intended for total artificial heart implant (CFTAH). The purpose of this initial in vivo study was to demonstrate that the scaled-down CFTAH (P-CFTAH) can be appropriate for BVAD support. The P-CFTAH was implanted in 4 acute lambs (average weight, 41.5 ± 2.8 kg) through a median sternotomy. The cannulation was performed through the left and right atria, and cannulae length adjustment was performed for atrial and ventricular cannulation. The BVAD system was tested at 3 pump speeds (3000, 4500, and 6000 rpm). The BVAD performed very well for both atrial and ventricular cannulation within the 3000-6000 rpm range. Stable hemodynamics were maintained after implantation of the P-CFTAH. The self-regulating performance of the system in vivo was demonstrated by the left (LAP) and right (RAP) pressure difference (LAP-RAP) falling predominantly within the range of -5 to 10 mm Hg with variation, in addition to in vitro assessment of left and right heart failure conditions. Left and right pump flows and total flow increased as the BVAD speed was increased. This initial in vivo testing of the BVAD system demonstrated satisfactory device performance and self-regulation for biventricular heart failure support over a wide range of conditions. The BVAD system keeps the atrial pressure difference within bounds and maintains acceptable cardiac output over a wide range of hemodynamic conditions.
