Feasibility of a Dielectric Elastomer Augmented Aorta

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Jonathan André Jean-Marie Chavanne, Francesco Clavica, Morgan Almanza, David Moser

Although heart transplantation is a gold standard for severe heart failure, there is a need for alternative effective therapies. A dielectric‐elastomer aorta is used to augment the physiological role of the aorta in the human circulatory system. To this en ...

Characterization of a radial cylindrical spring using an electromechanical test bench

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Jonathan André Jean-Marie Chavanne, David Moser

The Center for Artificial Muscles of EPFL in Neuchâtel focuses his research on designing a less invasive cardiac assist device based on a dielectric elastomer actuator. The idea is to place a ring around the aorta and activate it to help failing heart pump ...
