Dual lumen coaxial cannula assembly for selective axial displacement
A dual lumen coaxial cannula assembly has been patented, comprising a first infusion tube and a second drainage tube co-axially aligned with a connector assembly allowing selective axial displacement of the first infusion tube through the second drainage tube. The connector assembly includes valves to secure the first infusion tube, magnets for position feedback, and infusion and drainage apertures at the distal ends of the tubes. This assembly aims to assist a patient's heart by inserting the cannula into the internal jugular vein, maneuvering it to the pulmonary artery and right atrium, adjusting the axial position, securing the tubes, and connecting to a blood pump for right ventricular support.
The patented method for assisting a patient's heart involves inserting the dual lumen coaxial cannula into the internal jugular vein, maneuvering it to the pulmonary artery and right atrium, adjusting the axial position, securing the tubes with valves, and connecting to a blood pump for right ventricular support. The method includes using magnets for position feedback, delivering blood to the pulmonary artery through infusion apertures, and withdrawing blood from the right atrium through drainage apertures. This innovative assembly and method provide a precise and secure way to support a patient's heart function, ensuring proper positioning and functionality for effective treatment.
