Special
Session: Cardiopulmonary Support Device Exhibit
Chair: Timothy Myers — Texas Heart Institute |
| |
Innovative
devices for assisting the heart and lungs will be displayed and described
by companies and investigators. Devices will be displayed;
slides and videos will be shown on computer monitors. Although the
layout of the area will encourage group interaction, the format will
also allow one-on-one discussion. |
| |
Devices: DeBakey
Pump (MicroMed); Assist Device (TAMU); Cannula pump and Artificial
Lung (UTMB); Jarvik 2000, AbioCor TAH, Levitronix Centrimag, Cardiac
Assist Tandem Heart, Thoractec HeartMate I and II (THI staff) |
| This special
presentation will be in conjunction with the Poster Session during
the Reception on Thursday afternoon. |
