    • To highlight the dual functionality of the vent for endocardial cooling.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a simple, inexpensive left ventricular vent design.
    • Evaluation of the vent's reliability and ease of use.
    • Assessment of the vent's efficacy in facilitating endocardial cooling.

    Main Results:

    • The devised left ventricular vent demonstrated a low incidence of malfunction.
    • The vent proved to be both simple to implement and economical.
    • The device effectively served as a conduit for endocardial cooling.

    Conclusions:

    • The new left ventricular vent offers a reliable and cost-effective solution.
    • This innovative device provides a valuable adjunct for hypothermic cardiac procedures.
