The impact of rotor configurations on hemodynamic features, hemocompatibility and dynamic balance of the centrifugal blood pump: A numerical study.

This study found that rotor type, clearance height and back vanes significantly affect the hydraulic performance, hemocompatibility and rotor dynamic balance of centrifugal blood pumps through secondary flow. These parameters should be carefully selected when designing and optimizing centrifugal blood pumps for improving the blood pump clinical outcomes. This article is protected by copyright.
