1 Improved right heart function with a compliant inflow artificial lung in series with the pulmonary circulation  Scott D Lick, MD, Joseph B Zwischenberger, MD, Dongfang Wang, MD, Donald J Deyo, DVM, Scott K Alpard, BA, Sean D Chambers, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 72, Issue 3, Pages (September 2001) DOI: /S (01)

2 Fig 1 Initial design of the MC3 artificial lung.

3 Fig 2 Modified artificial lung with inflow compliance chamber.
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

4 Fig 3 Input impedance of the MC3 artificial lung (IAL) compared with that of one with a compliant chamber placed at the inflow to the artificial lung. The impedance was measured in an in vitro, pulsatile circuit that yielded a flow and pressure profile similar to the pulmonary artery. The results are for an average flow rate of 5 L/min and a pressure pulse of 22/9 mm Hg. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )
