Applying a clampless haemostatic device for left ventricular assist device outflow graft anastomosis.

Performing a left ventricular assist device outflow graft anastomosis in redo cases with a short ascending aorta and open vein grafts requires side clamping of the aorta and may necessitate temporary clamping of the vein grafts to optimize the surgical field. We aim to describe the technique and report our experience with applying the HeartString® device for the anastomosis of the left ventricular assist device outflow graft in 2 male patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy following coronary artery bypass surgery. The feasibility of using the HeartString device has been shown and no procedure-related complication was documented.
