Abstract：Implantable ventricular assistance has been rapidly developed in recent years and become a therapeutic option for end-stage heart failure patients in many developed countries.However,infection caused by the percutaneous cable remains a severe clinical complication.Wireless power transfer could be an ideal solution for power supply to implanted mechanical ventricular assistance.Nevertheless,problems with current wireless power transfer technology,such as transfer distance,position and orientation sensitivity,implantability,and long term reliability in situ,must be solved before it can be used for long-term implantable devices.This paper reviews the evolution of wireless power transfer technology for clinical use,summarizes the pros and cons of existing wireless power transfer methods for ventricular assistance,and discusses the direction for future development.
