1 Left Ventricular Assist Device Inflow Angle and Pump Positional Change Over Time Adverse Impact on Left Ventricular Assist Device Function  Toshinobu Kazui, MD, PhD, Andrew Zhang, BS, Jason Greenberg, BS, Akinobu Itoh, MD, PhD, Phat L. Tran, PhD, Angela D. Keith, MS, Greg A. Ewald, MD, Ralph J. Damiano, MD, Scott C. Silvestry, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 102, Issue 6, Pages (December 2016) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2016 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) inflow cannula and pump body angle: the lines are made through the mid portion of inflow cannula and LVAD pump body. The angle made by these two lines was measured. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2016 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Left ventricular assist device position was evaluated based on the inflow cannula position relative to the patient’s diaphragm. Pump positional change (arrow) was evaluated based on the difference of the inflow cannula position between discharge (left) and follow-up (right).
