Technical considerations for percutaneous pulmonary artery cannulation for mechanical circulatory support.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Percutaneous pulmonary artery cannulas, used as inflow for left ventricular venting or as outflow for right ventricular mechanical circulatory support, are easily and rapidly deployable with transesophageal and fluoroscopic guidance.

Methods

We chose to review our institutional and technical experience with all right atrium to pulmonary artery cannulations.

Results

Based on the review, we describe 6 right atrium to pulmonary artery cannulation strategies. They are divided into total right ventricular assist support, partial right ventricular assist support, and left ventricular venting. A single limb cannula or a dual lumen cannula can be used for right ventricular support.

Conclusions

In the right ventricular assist device configuration, percutaneou
