Myocardium-sparing cannulation technique for left ventricular assist device support

JM Duncan, RT Baldwin, SR Igo and OH Frazier
Cullen Cardiovascular Research Laboratories, Texas Heart Institute, Houston 77225-0345.

The left atrium and the left ventricular apex are the most commonly used sites of inflow cannulation for postcardiotomy left ventricular support. A new cannulation technique that requires only an ascending aortotomy is introduced. This procedure can be undertaken with equipment present in any cardiac operating room and may prove to cause fewer complications than conventional cannulation techniques.
