Patients with Fontan circulatory failure suffer from many Fontan associated end-organ dysfunctions like chronic liver congestion, plastic bronchitis, or protein losing enteropathy and urgently need a donor heart. While these comorbidities indicate a heart transplantation, at the same time they worsen its chance of success. The EXCOR® Venous Cannula is designed to offer a standardized implantation of the EXCOR® VAD to support the subpulmonary circulation of these patients. The EXCOR® Venous Cannula can either be used alone or in a biventricular configuration to ensure subpulmonary and systemic support.  This support aims to improve the patient‘s health status. An improvement of end-organ  function and hemodynamics lead to better chances on the waiting list.
