Abstract
Minimally invasive techniques to implant centrifugal left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have been described as alternatives to the classic full sternotomy approach. Implantation of the pump is done through a left anterior thoracotomy. The outflow graft is anastomosed to the ascending aorta via upper hemisternotomy or right anterior thoracotomy.1,2
