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

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.

This work highlights how ViVitro systems enable realistic cardiovascular bench testing for next-generation bioelectronic devices, helping advance translational implant development. Using a ViVitro SuperPump to recreate physiologically relevant pulsatile left-heart conditions, this study evaluates a biodegradable PLLA piezoelectric sensor for real-time monitoring during aortic annuloplasty. The authors enhanced PLLA film performance through uniaxial stretching and thermal annealing, significantly increasing voltage output and enabling stable, pressure-correlated sensing in a ring-like prototype. Within the in-vitro setup, the sensor produced repeatable signals across clinically relevant pressure ranges, supporting its potential as a temporary smart implant.

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.

Using a modified ViVitro Pulse Duplicator system, researchers achieved one of the most advanced preclinical test benches to date for Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement (TPVR). This platform allowed integration of patient-specific 3D-printed pulmonary artery models to evaluate valve hemodynamics under physiologic conditions. The ViVitro system enabled precise measurement of pressure gradients and regurgitation, which were then compared with in vivo catheterization data—demonstrating excellent correlation and validating the use of 3D-printed geometries for personalized testing. This work highlights how ViVitro technology facilitates translational research by linking computational design, in-vitro modeling, and clinical validation to optimize device sizing and placement for complex congenital heart conditions.

A symmetrical phantom with circular successively bifurcating vessels was developed to study the behavior of the clinical catheter during microsphere injection. The outlets led to an open fluid collection reservoir, which was connected to a continuous pump and a pulsatile pump (SuperPump, ViVitro labs, Victoria, Canada). The most interesting finding from this study was the observed motion of the clinical catheter and its influence on the microsphere distribution.

Use of the ViVitro Labs Super Pump to build a complex mock circulatory loop to study the effect of VA-ECMO/IABP combination on the with systemic, coronary, cerebral, and renal circulation. In this study the ViVitro Labs system is used to improve the outcome of clinical procedures. "We used the same silicone circuit as in our previous publication (model ref T-S-N-009+; Elastrat, Geneva, Switzerland). 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)"

This study demonstrates how the ViVitro Labs Pulsatile flow pump was used to design a customized pulse duplicator system to assess the hydrodynamic performance of a pediatric “biological valve model (BVM)”. The flow loop integrates a unique system to simulate aortic annulus expansion. The performance of the patient-tailored valve was benchmarked against a commercially available pulmonary conduit along with an in-house built polyurethane valve. This research provides valuable insight on valve design potential improvements and demonstrates how ViVitro systems can play a critical role in valve performance assessment.

AAA sac management with persistent growth or endoleak in patient continue to be a challenge. This publication demonstrates the modularity of the ViVitro Labs Pulsatile Flow Pump in building advanced mock circulatory loops, and how the ViVitro Labs systems can be used to assess the impact of an embolization technique on the reduction of AAA sac volume and improve a procedure clinical outcome. "A Vivitro SuperPump (Victoria, BC, Canada) cardiac simulator was connected to both ends of a 30-gallon plastic basin using plastic tubing. The graft model construct was placed into the basin and securely attached proximally and distally to the plastic tubing with circumferential clamps. The basin was filled with water and gel beads for optimal acoustic conditions. Once the model was connected to the flow circuit, water was pumped through the system at 70 beats per minute with an average flow rate of 3.5 L/min."

Helical stents have been developed to treat peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the superficial femoral artery (SFA), with the premise that their particular geometry could promote swirling flow in the blood. The aim of this work is to provide evidence on the existence of this swirling flow by quantifying its signatures. The flow setup consisted of a programmable piston pump (Super Pump, Vivitro, Victoria, Canada), to create pulsating flow. The in vitro results show that skewedness is increased due to the helical geometry of the stents.

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital disease characterized by the narrowing of the aorta, typically the descending portion after the left subclavian artery. To create a systolic contraction, the compliant LV sac is squeezed inside a fluid-filled plexiglass container using a programmable piston pump (ViVitro Labs Inc, SuperPump, AR SERIES). Our principal finding is that CoA increases cerebral blood flow and harmful pulsatile energy transmission to the brain.

To investigate flow conditions in a double-layered carotid artery stent, a bench-top in vitro flow setup including a bifurcation phantom was designed and fabricated. For the introduction of pulsatile flow, a linear piston pump (Superpump AR, ViVitro Labs, Victoria, BC, Canada) and two compliances were added to the stationary circuit. We illustrated, with 3D printing and molding, how it is possible to transfer geometry from literature to a model and thereafter to a flexible phantom.
