A novel model for minimally invasive left ventricular assist device implantation training.

CONCLUSIONS: This high-fidelity, reproducible hybrid model allows for crucial components of minimally invasive LVAD implantation to be performed. This model has the potential to be used as an adjunct to surgical training, providing a safe and controlled learning environment for trainees to acquire skills in minimally invasive LVAD implantation.
