Systems and methods for providing cardiac support provide a cannula body having an inlet and an outlet. The cannula includes a preformed bend sized and configured to extend within the heart chamber between the inlet and the outlet. The cannula is inserted through a first valve into a heart chamber and through a second valve out of the heart chamber. Blood is drawn into the cannula through the inlet and discharged from the cannula through the outlet, thereby bypassing the heart chamber.

Apparatus and methods for entering cavities of the body

A cannula assembly ( ) provides access to an interior body region ( ). The cannula assembly defines a lumen ( ) having a distal region ( ). The lumen includes a bend in the distal region to guide deployment in the body region. A closure assembly ( ) can be provided to open, and close the cannula assembly to fluid flow.
