Exploratory proof-of-concept study and failure mode analysis of a dual-lumen stent graft for transapical off-pump LVAD implantation

Abstract Transapical off-pump implantation of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) requires a separate inflow cannula and outflow graft. This study represents the first exploratory proof-of-concept evaluation of a dual-lumen stent graft designed to redirect blood from the left...
