Novel Formula to calculate 3-D Angle between Inflow Cannula and Device Body of HeartMate II LVAD

ConclusionsWe established a novel formula to mathematically calculate actual 3D angles between inflow cannula and device body of HeartMate II. The formula would help investigators to validate their findings of the relationship between 2D projected angle (from CXR) and device thrombosis.
