Abstract
This review addresses the challenge of miniaturizing rotary blood pumps for use in pediatric heart surgery in patients with severe heart failure. This problem is relevant because of the high mortality of patients on pediatric heart transplant waiting lists as compared with other age groups and the lack of alternative mechanical support. This has driven studies on the miniaturization of adult pumps.
