We are developing a clinically practical percutaneous double lumen cannula (DLC)-based cavopulmonary assist (CPA) system to support failing Fontan patients. In this study, our CPA DLC was redesigned for even blood flow, minimal recirculation, and easy insertion/deployment. After bench testing, this new CPA system was evaluated for 4 hours (n = 10) and 96 hours (n = 5) in our clinically relevant lethal cavopulmonary failure (CPF) sheep model for ease of cannulation/deployment, reversal of CPF hemodynamics/end-organ hypoperfusion, and durability/biocompatibility.

The objectives were to design/fabricate a double-lumen cannula (DLC) for a percutaneous right ventricular assist device (pRVAD) and to test the feasibility/performance of this pRVAD system. A 27 Fr DLC prototype was made and tested in six adult sheep. The pRVAD DLC was inserted into the right jugular vein; advanced through the superior vena cava, the right atrium (RA), the right ventricle (RV); ending in the pulmonary artery (PA).
