Cannulating the outflow cannula of a right ventricular assist device (RVAD) through the main pulmonary artery is often troublesome because of extensive dissecting adhesion. We implanted RVADs using the new technique for outflow cannulating through the right pulmonary artery between the ascending aorta and the superior vena cava. With this technique, we needed only a little dissection and no cardiopulmonary bypass. This technique could make RVAD implantation simple, quick, and safe.
