Objectives of Indo American Artificial Heart Project (IAAHP):

The condition of patients with heart failure often declines even with optimal medical treatment. Heart transplantation has traditionally been the preferred treatment of such patients. The lack of donor organs motivated the development of the Total Artificial Heart in the early 60s and development continues to this day. Early artificial hearts such as the pulsatile devices imitates the natural hearts action but yielded poor results due to their large size, invasiveness, complexity, and need for extracorporeal support connections. While debate has continued over the necessity of pulsatile action, rotary pumps with their smaller size and simpler designs, have been steadily gaining popularity as blood pumps for temporary support of an ailing heart. Newer axial blood pumps incorporate several design features such as magnetically levitated rotors, CFD optimized impeller and diffuser blades, bio-compatible materials, and transcutaneous power transmission. These small and robust pumps such as the Left Ventricle Assist Device play an increasing role for those awaiting a heart transplants. The duration of this & temporary support has been increasing to the point where LVAD axial pumps are now being considered as a destination therapy in some cases. Here an attempt is being made to design, manufacture and market a TAH with low cost and higher efficiency for the developing countries like INDIA.

Role of KITSW in IAAHP

Department of Mechanical Engineering is working on Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis using ANSYS work bench for modeling and analysis of Heart Pump and development of prototype model using 3D Printer.
