“…Furthermore, remote venous cannulation with self-expanding cannulas provides similar flows as central cannulation. As a matter of fact the pump flows achieved in this consecutive series of adult patients are in 97% on or above target (mean 113%), and as a result, augmentation using centrifugal pumps or vacuum is unnecessary as previously reported for randomized experimental studies [3,8] and smaller series for specific indications [4,5,9]. It has also been shown previously in a study comparing self-expanding cannulas (access orifice 30 F) to classic two-stage cannulas (access orifice 48 F), that blood flows more than 10% above the target of 2.4 l/m 2 can be achieved without additional blood trauma [6].…”

“…A femoral venous cannulation is often used for this process. 3,4,6 The target blood flow can be difficult to reach with a percutaneous cannula, which can lead to a problem such as vessel chattering, as reported in Toomasian and McCarthy's 3 study. 5,6 However, the design of this cannula ( Fig.…”

Objective Originally, the Smartcanula principle (collapsed insertion and expansion in situ) was developed for venous drainage by gravity. However, in minimally invasive surgery, augmentation with either constrained force vortex pumps or vacuum is often used. The current study was set up to assess whether smaller diameters of self-expanding venous cannulas are sufficient in conjunction with venous drainage augmentation resulting in smaller access orifices. Methods To evaluate cannulas intended for cardiopulmonary bypass, an in vitro circuit was set up with silicone tubing between the test cannula encased in a lower reservoir, the centrifugal pump, and after an upper reservoir. Afterload was set arbitrarily at 60 mm Hg using a centrifugal pump. The pressure value was measured using Millar pressure transducers. Flow rate (Q) was measured using an ultrasonic flow meter calibrated with volume tank and timer. Revolutions per minute of the centrifugal pump were calibrated with a stroboscope. Data display and data recording were controlled using a Lab View application. Self-expanding (24F Smartcanula) and control (25F Biomedicus) cannulas were used. Results Sixty measurements were recorded. At pump speed of 1500, 1570, 2000, 2500, and 3000 rpm, the Q values were 3.6, 5.2, 6.6, 9.3, and 11.8 L/min for the 24F self-expanding cannula and 3, 4.3, 5.4, 7.5, and 9.3 L/min for the control cannula. The pressure values were 3.6, −5.4, −15.9, −45.3, and 80.6 mm Hg. Biomedicus 25F showed Q values from 16% to 19% less as compared with 24F Smartcanula. The pressure values were 6, 7, 4, 2, and 2 times more as compared with 24F Smartcanula. Conclusions Our experimental evaluation demonstrated the superior performance of the Smartcanula with its self-expanding design in comparison with the reference commercially available standard cannulas. The Smartcanula with its small diameter is particularly welcome for minimally invasive surgery.

“…This phenomenon was complemented by performing in vivo animal testing with the SC exhibiting a 20% greater flow rate capacity during passive and active venous drainage techniques [20]. Similar findings were encountered by Mueller et al [21] in a parallel bovine experiment. Undertaking clinical comparisons is difficult as once theoretical flow is attained, it is also maintained.…”
