Abstract
A method and system are provided for percutaneously gaining access to oxygenated blood with one or more anastomosis devices and pumping such oxygenated blood directly to the aorta adjacent to the right atrium or left atrium via a VAD system. In one embodiment, a VAD system can be implanted with open surgery.
Claims19
A system to assist a left ventricle of a heart, the system comprising:
- a first anastomosis device configured to be coupled to a septum between a right atrium and a left atrium of the heart;
- a second anastomosis device configured to be coupled between the right atrium of the heart and the aorta;
- a flow path including at least one conduit configured to be positioned within the right atrium of the heart and configured to flow oxygenated blood from the left atrium, through the first anastomosis device, to the second anastomosis device and directly into the aorta;
- and
- a pumping device operatively coupled to the at least one conduit.

A system to assist a left ventricle of a heart, the system comprising:
- an anastomosis device configured to be coupled to and extend between a left atrium and the aortic artery, the anastomosis device including a flow path configured to flow oxygenated blood from the left atrium directly into the aortic artery;
- and
- a pumping device directly coupled to the anastomosis device configured to pump the oxygenated blood through the anastomosis device directly into the aortic artery.
A system to assist a left ventricle of a heart, the system comprising:
- a first anastomosis device configured to be coupled to an aortic artery adjacent the heart;
- a second anastomosis device configured to be coupled to a pulmonary vein adjacent the heart;
- a flow path including at least one conduit configured to be positioned and connected between the first anastomosis device and the second anastomosis device;
- and
- a pumping device operatively coupled to the at least one conduit.
