Cardiovascular diseases are the greatest death cause in Brazil and worldwide, mechanical circulatory support devices are a technology able to help in reducing in this death rate. The objective of this project is to present solutions, based on the integration of engineering and medicine, related to the development of mechanical circulatory support devices.The challenges which must be overc…
Brazil has contributed for the world development of cardiology, especially in the cardiac surgery field. The improvement of surgical techniques makes possible to perform several successful heart transplantations in Brazil. However, the number of cardiac donors is lower than the number of candidates for heart transplantation. Consequently many patients die waiting for an organ. To suppor…

To verify the behavior of seeded cells on a framework for heart valve tissue engineering, primarily in static culture. Adhesion, proliferation, cell morphology and tissue formation are some of the issues that should be verified throughout the project at different times.
To perform an anatomical positioning test of a pediatric ventricular assist device in virtual models obtained from computed tomography examinations.
Carry out a study to determine the internal volume of a pediatric ventricular assist device, considering the variations in body mass of these patients. (AU)
