Development and assessment of novel assist device for cardiac cannulation

ConclusionsThis project successfully demonstrated how a rapid cannulation assistance device could be developed and tested. Future studies will be conducted that address device adhesion to the cardiovascular tissue so that accurate pressure and flow rates can be measured. Future studies will also include testing the device in a fluid environment to more effectively analyze the device success and comparing the time required to cannulate using our device compared to the standard of care.
