This review traces the evolution of centrifugal blood pumps in mechanical circulatory support (MCS) systems. Initially met with concerns over blood damage and thrombus formation, centrifugal pumps have become crucial components in ventricular assist devices (VADs) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to their simplified drive mechanisms and adaptability. This paper outlines three generations of centrifugal pump development: first-generation pumps with sealing components, second-generation pumps utilizing pivot bearings, and third-generation pumps employing contactless bearings.
