Abstract

An adequate surgical technique is paramount for the outcome of any surgical procedure. Implantation of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) presents a series of technical challenges for the appropriate placement and long-term function of the device. The proper positioning of the inflow cannula is possibly the most important technical aspect of LVAD implantation. This chapter is intended to highlight pitfalls related to placement of the inflow cannula during implantation of LVAD.
