Fig. 1 — CentriMag®. A) Cannulation strategy: a CentriMag® was used to support the left heart with cannulation via the left atrium, left ventricle, and aorta. Another CentriMag® was used to support the right ventricle with cannulation via the right atrium and pulmonary artery. This strategy allowed for excellent flows from both devices and complete decompression of the heart. B) CentriMag® access strategy: all cannulas were removed from the chest through intercostal or subcostal incisions, allowing sternotomy closure. Kaczorowski et al.
