Berlin Heart INCOR system is a left ventricle assist device (LVAD), which generates a laminar blood flow. Its inflow canula is implanted in the heart apex, while its outflow canula-in the ascending aorta. In the present work a new alternative technique for implantation of the device's inflow canula is reported. The suggested technique is quicker and easier than the conventional one. It saves time and gives excellent results. After the implantation no unusual events like thrombosis, anastomosis malfunction, etc., are observed.
