Abstract in brief

  • The study introduces a soft robotic model of the right ventricle (RV) that accurately simulates RV biomechanics and hemodynamics, crucial for advancing RV-focused medical interventions.
  • This model incorporates a biohybrid design, combining a chemically treated endocardial scaffold with synthetic materials, allowing it to replicate real-time blood flow scenarios, including both healthy and pathological conditions.
  • Validated through tests on a porcine model, the robotic right ventricle (RRV) demonstrates potential for innovations in tricuspid valve repair and sets the stage for further research into RV-related health issues.
