CorInnova device delivery. (A–C) Fluoroscopic images
showing use of the deployment tube and self-deploying wire frame to successfully
place the device in the pericardial sac. (D) The surgeon pushes the device out of
the delivery tube and into the pericardial sac. Deployment with this method has a
success rate of 100% to date and an average placement time of 20 seconds once
the tube is placed at the pericardial opening. Fig. 8A–C, adapted from [44] Hord
