Trans-atrial Inflow Cannula Configuration for Durable HeartWare Left Ventricular Assist Device in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Case Series and a Word of Caution

Trans-atrial Inflow Cannula Configuration for Durable HeartWare Left Ventricular Assist Device in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Case Series and a Word of Caution

Background/objectives: Implantation of a durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is technically challenging. We describe our experience using a trans-atrial inflow cannulation and a left atrial-to-aorta (LA-Ao) LVAD configuration. Pump hemodyn...
