The ViVitro SuperPump enabled a physiologically relevant benchtop platform for evaluating treatment strategies for giant intracranial aneurysms using a rupture-prone 3D-printed model. In this study, researchers implemented a custom flow loop to compare flow diverter-only treatment, flow diverter combined with synthetic thrombus, and flow diverter with liquid embolic, while continuously monitoring intra-aneurysmal pressure and time to rupture. The results demonstrate that benchtop aneurysm testing provides a practical and repeatable approach for assessing treatment performance and mechanical stability under controlled physiological conditions, while underscoring the value of realistic in-vitro models for preclinical device evaluation

The ViVitro Pulse Duplicator enabled a physiologically relevant, ISO 5840-aligned test environment for direct comparison of event-based imaging velocimetry (EBIV) and conventional PIV in a left-heart simulator with a transcatheter mitral valve. The study examined whether EBIV could quantify intraventricular flow with accuracy comparable to PIV under two cardiac-output conditions. Using synchronized, phase-locked acquisitions, the authors showed that EBIV reproduced the main hemodynamic features measured by PIV, including velocity fields, diastolic vortex structures, circulation, Lagrangian trajectories, pulsatile kinetic energy, and dominant POD modes. The work positions EBIV as a data-efficient, high-dynamic-range alternative for cardiac flow analysis, while underscoring the value of the ViVitro platform in delivering realistic, reproducible bench testing for device assessment and translational cardiovascular research.

This study demonstrates how the ViVitro Labs SuperPump enables precise control of flow and stroke, providing the stable and clinically relevant hemodynamic conditions required to accurately quantify leakage. Automated versus manual suturing techniques in Bentall procedures were evaluated using an ex vivo passive beating heart model integrated into an advanced mock circulatory loop (MCL) platform. Twenty porcine hearts underwent Bentall surgery with either automated or manual suturing and were tested under progressively increasing aortic pressures using the ViVitro Labs SuperPump. The results revealed no significant difference in anastomotic leakage between the two techniques, even under hypertensive conditions. These findings indicate that automated suturing achieves comparable holding strength and hemostatic performance to manual methods, supporting its use in complex aortic root procedures.

Pumping New Life into Heart Research: How ViVitro's Superpump is Changing TAVR Studies In this study, researchers took a unique approach by reanimating swine and human hearts with a ViVitro Superpump to investigate how TAVR implantation affects coronary pressure. Using the Superpump and detailed CT scans, they measured what they call the Estimated Leaflet to Ostium Distance, or ELOD, and found a clear correlation: the shorter that distance, the more coronary pressure could drop. In other words, by getting these hearts beating again in a lab setting, they demonstrated that ELOD might be a better predictor of coronary obstruction risk than some traditional measurements. It’s a solid example of how ViVitro’s technology is helping refine our understanding of heart valve procedures, all without the need for animal or patient trials.

Structural Valve Deterioration Under the Lens: Insight into Heart Valve Durability and Calcification This study showcases some truly remarkable transformations in both surgical and transcatheter heart valves, all achieved in a controlled lab environment using our ViVitro AWT systems and a Pulse Duplicator. Over a 157 million cycle durability test, these valves were exposed to conditions that mimic years of loading while calcification occurs, allowing us to observe how calcium deposits impact structural valve deterioration. The findings are truly eye-opening. The study not only demonstrated how different valve designs and tissue types respond to calcification but also highlighted that our 1st gen HiCycle system, while solid and reliable, has paved the way for the even more advanced features of our current 3rd gen AWT systems. Imagine how much more we could uncover now with independent valve environments and continuous monitoring! We were especially impressed by the visual content—like Video 8 in the paper, which offers a side-by-side view of control versus calcified valves, a feature reminiscent of our latest Valve Comparison Tool. Ultimately, this research is a great testament to how ViVitro’s products are helping advance medical device testing in a way that reduces the need for animal and patient trials.

In a rare head-to-head comparison study between two surgical mitral valve prostheses (EDWARDS MITRIS RESILIA 27mm vs ABBOTT EPIC Plus 29mm, 3 samples each), the author addressed the lack of hemodynamic performance data comparing bovine and porcine tissue valves when placed in the mitral position. A unique customized Pulse Duplicator system fitted with two ViVitro Labs pulsatile flow pumps was used to simultaneously activate left atrial and left ventricular chambers with molded transparent soft silicone models. The study showed that both valves met ISO 5840 requirements, but MITRIS performed noticeably better, with a 25% lower pressure gradient, 12% larger GOA, and 15% larger EOA. More work is needed to translate those results into clinical benefits for patients. This original research demonstrates how the modularity and versatility of the ViVitro Labs pulsatile flow pump empower researchers to build advanced mock flow loop systems and generate high-quality comparative performance data that support device optimization and innovation.

Physics-Based AI Enhances Prediction of Post-TAVR Flow Dynamics Using the ViVitro Pulse Duplicator, researchers generated high-fidelity in-vitro flow data to validate TrajectoryFlowNet—a physics-informed machine learning framework for predicting complex cardiovascular fluid dynamics. The ViVitro system recreated physiological pulsatile conditions within a silicone aortic root and 3D-printed arteries, enabling accurate 3D particle image velocimetry (PIV) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The resulting experimental dataset trained and tested TrajectoryFlowNet without explicit boundary constraints, yet achieved high correlation (≈0.9) between predicted and measured particle velocities.

In this study the ViVitro Labs Pulse Duplicator system played an essential role in simulating physiological aortic and pulmonary flow conditions to assess the hydrodynamic performance of a bioinspired trilayer poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds designed for tissue-engineered heart valves (TEHVs). By replicating the fibrosa-spongiosa-ventricularis architecture using electrospinning on custom collectors, the authors developed a scaffold (BTS) that successfully mimics the anisotropic and nonlinear ('J-curve') mechanical behavior of native valve leaflets. The BTS exhibited favorable biomechanical performance, excellent biocompatibility, and compliance with ISO 5840-2 criteria. These results highlight the scaffold’s translational promise in pediatric and young adult valve replacements. The successful demonstration of effective orifice area and regurgitation rate compliance underscores the Pulse Duplicator’s value in de-risking translation to clinical applications.

Utilizing the ViVitro Pulse Duplicator, this study simulated a wide range of clinically relevant subaortic membrane (SAM) scenarios to quantify their impact on aortic valve hydrodynamics. By varying membrane stiffness, size, and alignment, the research team demonstrated that hemodynamic compromise becomes significant below a membrane orifice area (MOA) of 75%, with stiff membranes triggering higher pressure gradients and leaflet fluttering. Concentric flexible membranes yielded better outcomes under increasing cardiac output. Notably, the ViVitro platform enabled precise measurement of dynamic variables like regurgitation and fluttering amplitude, underscoring its value in preclinical modeling of disease states and guiding surgical thresholds for intervention

To prevent the formation of air bubbles when testing at a heart rate of 100 bpm, and to improve the quality of aortic flow measurements, a rigid plastic grid was placed in the compliance reservoir tank. We used a pulsatile pump (Superpump; ViVitro Labs, Inc., Victoria, BC, Canada) to simulate cardiac function at the circuit inlet. Positioning the pump in line with the aortic root was the configuration with the fewest disturbances flow and pressure measurements (Figure 1)"
