Mechanical circulatory support(MCS)devices have been widely used in the treatment of heart failure(HF)patients,but the infection problems caused by percutaneous cables for power transfer severely reduces the long-term survival rate of patients.The application of wireless power transfer(WPT)technology to MCS devices,and the realization of wireless power supply and full implantation of the devices is an effective means to reduce infection.WPT technology eliminates the need for percutaneous cables to transmit power,eliminates the infection problem caused by percutaneous cables,and improves the quality of life for patients,which is a more ideal power transmission method for MCS devices.The research progress of four WPT technologies,including transcutaneous energy transfer(TET),free-range resonant electrical energy delivery(FREE-D),coplanar energy transfer(CET)and ultrasound transcutaneous energy transmission(UTET),and the application of WPT technologies in 18 MCS devices were reviewed.The advantages and disadvantages of the existing WPT technologies and the bottlenecks in the application to MCS devices were discussed,and the future development direction was prospected,so as to provide a reference for the subsequent research on WPT for MCS devices.
