Synopsis

This volume is a collection of papers presented at the 26th Annual Scientific Conference of the Biological Engineering Society which brought together workers from a wide range of disciplines, with common interests, to discuss blood flow in artificial organs and cardiovascular prostheses. The possibility of replacing or agumenting the function of organs and structures in the human body has had a dramatic impact on medicine. The use of devices such as blood oxygenators and dialysers - often called artificial lungs and artificial kidneys - has made surgical procedures like major open-heart surgery possible. Implantable replacement heart valves and blood vessels are examples of devices which have extended the clinicians' choice of treatment, and prolonged and improved the quality of patients' lives. The development of these artificial organs and cardiovascular prostheses has been based on interdisciplinary research involving clinicians, engineers and scientists.
