Abstract
An inflow cuff with trocar for apical cannulation of the heart. The inflow cuff has an omni-directional or unidirectional valve that prevents blood from flowing out of the heart, thus facilitating apical cannulation in beating-heart situations. The inflow cuff is particularly suited for use in ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation procedures, in which the trocar would be used to punch a hole in the apex, followed by immediate insertion of the inflow cuff. If used in a VAD implantation procedure, the valve of the inflow cuff prevents blood loss until an inflow conduit from the VAD is inserted.
