In an early analysis of this trial, use of a magnetically levitated centrifugal continuous-flow circulatory pump was found to improve clinical outcomes, as compared with a mechanical-bearing axial ...

There is increasing evidence that, in addition to their presence, the propensity of circulating tumour cells to form multi-cellular clusters bears significant information about both cellular ...

VADs are usually classified according to the mode of blood flow, namely pulsatile or continuous. Continuous types can be further subdivided based on the biomechanics of the pump: centrifugal or axial.
