We promised Victorians that we'd build a dedicated Victorian Heart Hospital. We said it'd be the very first in the country. And today, we opened it.

Check out our new paper evaluating the effects of cannula size on the flow delivering capabilities of a VA #ECMO circuit, when simulated in our mock circulatory loop! Can smaller cannulas still provide adequate support?? doi.org/10.1177/026765…

Brand new research out now via asaiojournal! A huge multidisciplinary effort combining in silico and ex vivo methods to develop a novel drainage cannula design with optimised flow dynamics to tackle thrombosis during VA ECMO. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1097/MAT.00…
