Investigation on hydrodynamic lubrication of bearings in a left ventricular assisted device

Abstract Formations of clots were found inside the hydrodynamic bearings of the left ventricular assisted devices (LVADs) and caused tremendous risks to the long-term use of these devices. For the hydrodynamic bearings used in the LVAD, not only the lubrication status but also the motion of the bloo...
