We have modified the HeartMate 3 (Abbott, Abbott Park, IL) implantation technique to better suit our patient population. This modification optimizes the placement of the HeartMate 3 sewing cuff and allows passage of the suture transmurally from endocardium to epicardium in a “cut then sew” technique. We believe this affords a superior seal and protection from tearing friable myocardium
