Atrial versus ventricular cannulation for a rotary ventricular assist device

, 2010
The ventricular assist device inflow cannulation site is the primary interface between the device and the patient. Connecting these cannulae to either atria or ventricles induces major changes in flow dynamics; however, there are little data available on
