Left ventricular cannula obstruction in a patient with previous ventricular aneurysmectomy

Left ventricular cannula obstruction in a patient with previous ventricular aneurysmectomy

Cannula position is an important factor influencing optimal ventricular assist device function. A case of inflow cannula malposition resulting in suboptimal left ventricular assist device performance is presented. A discussion of alternative techniques and diagnosis is provided.
