Successful left ventricular support is dependent on adequate inflow drainage. We describe atrial cannulation using the dome of the left atrium, which in our experience has resulted in excellent inflow drainage.

Progressive technological developments have permitted clinical use of the wearable Baxter-Novacor left ventricular assist system. The system allows total bypass of the left ventricular function, and recovery of an adequate circulation in patients about in cardiogenic shock. Since the first clinical use, in March 1993, six patients about to die have been supported with a cardiac transplantation. This experience suggests that an acceptable answer to the problem of organ shortage is non available.
