More Information
Summary:An unloading system may be provided for use with ECMO and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices. The system may include a first cannula with a distal cannula body coupled to a proximal hub, the distal body having an inner diameter, where the first cannula is configured to slidably receive the MCS device. The system may include a second cannula having an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the first cannula. The system may include a connector for splitting a flow of blood from the ECMO device to the first and second cannula. The system may be configured so a first total pressure drop of the first cannula with the MCS device in place in the first cannula with the second cannula connected to the connector is equal to a second total pressure drop of the first cannula without the MCS device in place in the first cannula.
