Purpose: We are developing a clinically practical percutaneous double lumen cannula
(DLC)-based cavopulmonary assist (CPA) system to support failing Fontan patients. In this …

Background We are developing a total cavopulmonary support system for failing Fontan
physiology using the percutaneous Wang-Zwische double-lumen cannula (DLC). Methods …

The AvalonElite double lumen cannula (DLC) provides total cavopulmonary assist (CPA) in
failing Fontan sheep, but recirculation limits reliability. To improve CPA performance, a two …

Objectives The Avalon Elite (Macquet, Rastatt, Germany) double-lumen cannula can provide
effective cavopulmonary assistance in a Fontan (total cavopulmonary connection) sheep …

AUGUST 3, 2021: 537–4 4 538 overcome increased pulmonary vascular resistance,
resulting in multiorgan failure. Cavopulmonary assist (CPA) is required to drive total venous …

Both single-and double-outflow cavopulmonary assist devices (CPADs) were recently
proposed for the Fontan population, whereas single-outflow configurations were evaluated …

Total cavopulmonary connection (CPC) has a significant incidence of late failure due to
increased systemic venous pressure and low cardiac output. Mechanical support could …

BACKGROUND: Following Fontan palliation, the univentricular circulation is notable for
coexisting systemic venous hypertension and pulmonary arterial hypotension. Assisted …

Fontan operation as the current standard of care for the palliation of single ventricle defects
results in significant late complications. Using a mechanical circulatory device for the right …
