Abstract
Devices and methods are disclosed for coupling a ventricular assist device to a heart. A method of coupling a ventricular assist device to a heart includes holding a ventricular cuff with a surgical tool that is reconfigurable between an unclamped configuration and a clamped configuration. A sewing ring of the ventricular cuff is attached to the heart while the ventricular cuff is held by the surgical tool. The ventricular assist device is coupled to the heart by inserting an inlet cannula of the ventricular assist device into an inlet opening of the ventricular cuff while the ventricular cuff is held by the surgical tool.
