Abstract
A pusher-plate vortex blood pump has been developed with the objective to prevent thrombus formation on blood-contacting surfaces. Flow visualization experiments with an in-vitro model indicates strong vortex motions throughout the cardiac cycle induced with the use of a hemofoil inlet valve
