Abstract
Our data indicate that mean choroidal blood flow is maintained when pump support is varied within therapeutic values, whereas the ratio of pulsatile to non-pulsatile choroidal flow changes. This study shows that, in patients with ventricular assist devices, a normal perfusion rate in the ocular microcirculation is maintained over a wide range of support conditions.
